Assign a different license to an existing user in Recruiter

As a Product Settings and Account Center Admin in LinkedIn Recruiter, you can assign a different license to an existing user in LinkedIn Admin Center.

Who can use this feature?

Only users with Product Settings and Account Center Admin permission type can manage licenses, roles, and permissions in LinkedIn Recruiter. To better secure your account, we encourage you to have a back-up admin by assigning the Product Settings and Account Center Admin permission to one or more current or new users on the dashboard. This allows an additional user to manage your contract if you depart the company or go on extended leave.

Important to know

The Product Settings and Account Center Admin permission type is automatically configured within the Recruiter Admin and Dashboard Manager Admin preset roles. However, you can also apply the permission type within a custom role. Applying this permission type to a custom role allows you to assign an admin that can perform user and license management activities, without using a paid license. To configure this custom role, select the Hiring Collaborator License and the Product Settings and Account Center Admin additional permission setting.

To assign a different license to an existing user:

Move your cursor over your profile picture at the top of your Recruiter homepage and select Manage users in Admin Center from the dropdown.
On the Users tab, find the person whose license you want to manage.

You can filter by License type, License status, and Groups by selecting the dropdown above the user list. You can also search by name, or email using the search box above the user list.
Click the More icon to the right of the user.
Select Manage license from the dropdown.
Select the role to assign specific access and capabilities to the user.

Here's a tip

To assign a role that doesn’t fall into one of the predetermined roles, click Custom Role.
Click Confirm.
