As a LinkedIn Page owner, you may find it difficult to manage everything yourself. The good news is that it is not necessary. You can assign different administrative responsibilities to different people to optimize page management.

Read on to learn how you can give someone admin access to your LinkedIn page. You’ll also discover how you can edit administrator roles, remove administrators, and request administrator access yourself.

How to Give Admin Access to a LinkedIn Page on PC

As the creator of your page, you will automatically be its super administrator. Users with admin roles will see a My Pages p on their LinkedIn home page. You can easily access the pages you manage from this menu.

To add an admin to your page on PC, follow these steps:

1. Open the LinkedIn website and login.
   
2. Look for the My Pages menu on the left side of your home page.
3. Click the page you want to add a new administrator to. This will take you to the administrator view.
   
4. Find “Administration Tools” at the top and click “Manage Administrators.”
   
5. Select “Page Admins” or “Paid Media Admins” depending on the type of admin you need.
   
6. Click “Add Administrator” and find the user you want to add.
   
7. Select the user and choose the administrator role you want to assign to them.
   
8. Save the changes and that’s it.
   

You can also grant administrator access to a user by responding to their administrator request. You can view your admin requests in the Activity tab, but you will also receive email notifications about any new requests. To grant permission to a request, enter the super administrator view of your page.

1. Find the “My Pages” p on the home page and click on the page in question.
   
2. Click “Administration Tools” and select “Manage Administrators.” You will see all pending requests here.
   
3. Select “Assign Role” next to the user you want to designate.
   
4. Choose the appropriate role for the new administrator and click “Add Administrator.”
   

Granting administrator access directly from the email notification is even easier. Make sure you are signed in to your LinkedIn account and then click “Deny” or “Grant” in the email.

How to Give Admin Access to a LinkedIn Page on an iPhone

If you use the iPhone app for LinkedIn, you can enter admin view like this:

1. Start the LinkedIn app and log in.
   
2. Tap your profile photo on the home page.
   
3. Find the “Pages you manage” p and tap the page.
   

You can view any admin requests in the activity tab.

If you want to access advanced management tools from your iPhone, you may need to use a different method.

1. Open LinkedIn from your mobile browser.
   
2. In Chrome, tap the three vertical dots in the top right corner. In Safari, look for the Aa icon.
   
3. Look for the “Request Desktop Site” option.
   

This will allow you to use LinkedIn as you would from your PC and you will be able to use all the functions normally.

How to Give Admin Access to a LinkedIn Page on an Android Device

Entering administrator view in the Android app will be a similar process.

1. Open the LinkedIn app and log in to your account.
   
2. Tap your profile photo and look for “Pages you manage” in the menu.
   
3. Tap the name of the page you want to manage.
   
4. You have entered administrator view and can check your activity.

For advanced administration tools, the desktop site will be required.

1. Open Chrome and go to LinkedIn.
   
2. Tap the three vertical dots next to the address bar to open the menu.
   
3. Check the box next to “Desktop Site.”
   

You will be able to navigate the desktop version of LinkedIn this way. Add administrators to your page by accessing the administration tools in the administrator view as described above.

How to Edit Admin Roles on a LinkedIn Page

If your page doesn’t need another admin but does need a little reorganizing, you can also edit the roles of the current admins.

1. Enter Super Admin view by clicking the page name under “My Pages” on the LinkedIn home page.
   
2. Select “Administration Tools” and then “Manage Administrators.”
   
3. Choose the category of the administrator whose role you want to edit.
   
4. Look for the “Edit” option next to the administrator’s name.
   
5. Assign them a new role and save the changes.
   

Remember that each page must have a super administrator. If you want to edit your own super administrator role, you must first name a new super administrator.

How to request administrator access to a LinkedIn page

If you want to get admin access to a LinkedIn Page, you can also request access from the current super admin. Before you begin, make sure you have listed your current position with the organization in your profile. If the position is missing, go to your profile to add it.

1. Click your icon on the LinkedIn home page and then click “View Profile.”
   
2. Look for the “Add Profile Section” button under your name.
   
3. Under “Core”, you will find the “Add position” option.
   
4. Fill out the form and save the changes.

If you have a secondary language profile, you will need to update it separately.

Once you’ve added your position, you can request admin access to the page. The steps are the same whether you are on PC, iOS or Android.

1. Open the LinkedIn page you want to request admin access to.
2. Click “More” and then “Request administrator access.”
   
3. Verify your authorization and then click “Request Access” again.
   
4. Confirm your company email if necessary.

Now, you just have to wait until your application is accepted. You will receive a notification as soon as the super administrator has granted you access. However, if the page is not being managed, you may automatically become the new administrator.
