Unpark or restore a license in LinkedIn Admin Center for Recruiter

Last updated: 2 months ago

Unparking a license in LinkedIn Recruiter refers to the process of restoring a Recruiter user’s access to the dashboard, while restoring the user’s work on the dashboard.  After you unpark a license, the user can resume their original work with the activated license. Unparking a license will change a parked user’s license status to Activated.

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 unpark or restore a license:

  1. Sign in to Recruiter.

  2. Move your cursor over your profile picture at the top of your Recruiter homepage and select Manage users in Admin Center from the dropdown.

  3. On the Users tab, filter for parked users by selecting the License status dropdown filter above the user list.
  4. Click the More icon to the right of the user whose license you want to unpark.
  5. Select Unpark from the dropdown.

You'll see a confirmation message at the bottom of the page and the status of the license will display as Active.

By unparking a license, you will restore all work to the original user. The license status of the user will change from Parked to Activated.
