Add a user to an ad account in Campaign Manager

Last updated: 1 month ago

You can add users to your LinkedIn Ads account in Campaign Manager to give them access to view, edit, or create campaigns and ads. If your ad account has been claimed or added to Business Manager, user access must be managed through Business Manager instead.

Who can use this feature?

You must be an account manager to add a member to an ad account. If your ad account has been added to Business Manager, you must add users in Business Manager instead of Campaign Manager. 

When adding a user to an account, keep in mind: 

  • You can only add members who are your 1st, 2nd, or 3rd-degree connections.  

  • You have to assign them a user role. You’ll choose the role based on what permissions you want them to have on the account. 

Important to know

We recommend assigning more than one account manager to your ad account. If your company uses Business Manager, you'll be able to see a person's access from both Business Manager and Campaign Manager. Users added to ad accounts will be able to see their access from both Business Manager and the ad account in Campaign Manager. 

To add a member to an ad account:

  1. Go to your ad account in Campaign Manager.

  2. Click Account Settings  on the left menu, then click Manage access.

  3. Click the Add user button at the top of the page.

  4. Enter the name of the user or LinkedIn profile URL and select the correct name from the dropdown list.

  5. Select a role from the dropdown list.

  6. Click the Add button.

Here's a tip

If people added to your ad account need to create Sponsored Content ads, you’ll also need to add them as a Sponsored Content poster (paid media admin) for your organization’s Page.

Sponsored Content permissions can only be assigned by a LinkedIn Page super admin through a Page or email, not in Campaign Manager.
