As an admin, you can manage Sales Navigator admin permissions for your account in LinkedIn Admin Center.
Important to know
• Sales Navigator Account Center has been rebranded to LinkedIn Admin Center. LinkedIn Admin Center is a self-serve tool that allows you to manage user and license management in one central location—without having to reach out to a sales or support representative. Learn more.• Admin functionality isn’t available in the Sales Navigator mobile app. To access LinkedIn Admin Center, you must use a desktop device.
Considerations
A few things to keep in mind as you manage admin permissions:
- The number of admins that can be assigned to a Sales Navigator account is only limited by the number of available and activated licenses for the account.
- Admins can add and remove other admins. If you've accidentally removed your own admin abilities, please reach out to another admin on the team for assistance.
- To find users with specific permissions, you can filter using the User details column on the Users page of LinkedIn Admin Center.
- If you'd like to change an existing user to an Admin only seat, you can revoke license access. If you'd like to add a new admin as an Admin only seat, you can do so when you add them as a new user.
- If you accidentally removed your own admin access, reach out to another admin on your account to restore your access. If you were the only admin on the account, please contact support for further assistance.
Important to know
You can’t remove purchase admins from your Sales Navigator account.
