If your agency is helping manage your LinkedIn presence, they may need admin access to your LinkedIn Company Page.

This allows them to:

  • publish content
  • manage engagement
  • run advertising campaigns
  • access analytics
  • optimise your company presence on LinkedIn

The easiest way to do this is by assigning your agency team members as Page admins directly within LinkedIn.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to safely add your agency as an admin on your LinkedIn Company Page.

Why Agencies Need LinkedIn Admin Access

Without the correct permissions, your agency won’t be able to:

  • publish posts
  • respond to comments
  • manage your page
  • create ads
  • access reporting
  • optimise your LinkedIn activity properly

Providing admin access allows your agency to manage your LinkedIn marketing without needing your personal LinkedIn password.

Most importantly, your business still remains the owner of the LinkedIn Page at all times.

Before You Start

Before adding an admin, make sure:

  • you have Super Admin access to the LinkedIn Page
  • the agency team member already has a LinkedIn profile
  • you know which level of access they require

If you cannot see admin management settings, you may need a higher permission level from another Super Admin on the Page.

Step-by-Step: How to Add an Agency as a LinkedIn Page Admin

Step 1: Open Your LinkedIn Company Page

Navigate to your LinkedIn Company Page while logged into your LinkedIn account.

Make sure you are viewing the page as an admin.

Step 2: Open Page Settings

From the left-hand menu, click:

Settings

Then select:

Manage admins

This is where all Page permissions and admin roles are managed.

Step 3: Choose the Admin Type

You’ll see two tabs:

  • Page admins
  • Paid media admins

Page Admins (Organic Social Media)

Best for:

  • content posting
  • page management
  • responding to comments
  • analytics access

Paid Media Admins (Paid Advertising)

Best for:

  • LinkedIn advertising
  • Campaign Manager access
  • paid campaign management

Depending on the services your agency is providing, you may need one or both.

Step 4: Click “Add Admin”

Click:

Add admin

If you do not see this button, you may not currently have the correct permission level.

Only Super Admins can add or manage Page admins.

Step 5: Search for Your Agency Team Member

In the search field, enter the name of the person you would like to add.

LinkedIn will display matching profiles as you type.

Select the correct person from the list.

Step 6: Select the Appropriate Role

Choose the level of access you would like to assign.

LinkedIn offers different permission levels depending on the type of access required.

For most agency relationships:

Content Management

Assign:

  • Content Admin

Best for:

  • organic posting
  • engagement management
  • analytics
  • content scheduling

Advertising Management

Assign:

  • Paid Media Admin

Best for:

  • LinkedIn Ads
  • campaign optimisation
  • advertising reporting

Only one Page admin role can be assigned per person, however multiple Paid Media roles can be granted if needed.

Step 7: Save Your Changes

Once you’ve selected the correct role, click:

Save

Your agency team member will now receive access to your LinkedIn Page based on the permissions assigned.

Understanding LinkedIn Admin Roles

Choosing the correct permission level is important for both security and workflow management.

Common Issues When Adding Admins

I Can’t See the “Add Admin” Button

You likely do not have Super Admin access.

Another Super Admin will need to upgrade your permissions.

The Person Isn’t Showing in Search

The person must:

  • have a LinkedIn account
  • sometimes follow the Page first
  • not have privacy restrictions preventing discovery

I Added the Wrong Person

Admins can be removed later through the Manage Admins section.

What If I Only Want My Agency Running Ads?

You can assign Paid Media Admin access only without giving broader Page management permissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my agency own my LinkedIn Page?

No. Your business remains the owner of the Page at all times.

Your agency is only being granted access permissions.

Can I remove access later?

Yes. Admin access can be updated or removed at any time.

Is this safer than sharing passwords?

Yes. LinkedIn admin permissions are significantly more secure than sharing personal login details.

What access level should I provide?

This depends on the services your agency is managing.

For content management, Content Admin or Page Admin access is usually enough.

For paid advertising, Paid Media Admin access is typically required.

Final Thoughts

Giving your agency the correct level of LinkedIn access helps create a smoother, more secure and more professional working relationship.

It ensures your business maintains ownership while allowing your agency to properly manage content, advertising and reporting activities.

Once connected, collaboration becomes significantly easier and more efficient moving forward.
