Admin permissions in Recruiter

Last updated: 3 months ago

The available admin permissions for LinkedIn Recruiter are Product Settings admin and LinkedIn Admin Center admin.

Existing admins can manage permissions for other admins. Admin permissions are unlimited and can be granted to as many users as you'd like in Recruiter.

Here's a tip

To better secure your account, we encourage you to add a back-up admin by assigning admin permissions to a current or new user. This allows an additional user to manage your contract if you depart the company or go on extended leave. Note: You can assign admin permissions to users with the Hiring Manager role without using a paid license.
