Remove a license in LinkedIn Admin Center for Recruiter

As a Product Settings and Account Center Admin, you can take actions to remove or revoke a user’s license by assigning the user a No license status in LinkedIn Recruiter. Assigning a user a No license status will remove the user’s access from the dashboard and will free up a license for availability to be assigned to a new user.

Assigning a freed-up license to a new user provides a clean license with no historical data. Records or work from the removed user are not migrated to the new user unless the Reassign action was used before removing the original user from the dashboard.

To restore access to a removed user’s work, re-add the user to the dashboard using the Add New User button. The user will receive an invitation email, and once accepted, their previous work will be accessible again.

You can remove a license by assigning the user a No license whose license status is Activated or Parked. If you’ve invited a user to a contract who hasn’t activated the license yet, then you can assign this user a no license so the user can’t activate the license.

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.
