Add individual learners to your account in Learning

Last updated: 2 weeks ago

As an admin of a LinkedIn Learning account, you can add learners at any time through Learning Management.

To add users individually to your Learning account:
  1. Log into Learning Management.

  2. Click Admin Center in the top right corner of your screen.

  3. Select Add users by email from the dropdown.
  4. In the Add users by email window that appears, enter the user's email address in the search bar, and select their license and permission level in the License and Permissions section.

    If you’d like to send a custom email, click the Invitation Email tab, select Create a custom email template, and enter the name of the template you’d like to send.

  5. Click Confirm.

A welcome activation email is automatically sent to your new learner, and they appear in your list of users. You can re-send the welcome email at any time. If learners don’t activate their license via the first invitation email, they receive a LinkedIn notification. Learners don’t have to link their LinkedIn profile when they receive Learning activation notification on LinkedIn.com. Depending on the customer set up (profile required or optional), they’ll go through the appropriate activation experience determined by their organization.

You can view the progress of your activated licenses from your Learning Admin homepage.

Important to know

(a) Administrator functionality is not available within the Learning apps. To access Learning Management, please use a desktop device.


(b) Certain types of email addresses, such as sales@company.com, abuse@company.com, or postmaster@company.com are deemed as "role" rather than "individual" email addresses, and can't be used when assigning Learning seats within your organization's license.


(c) LinkedIn notifications are received only by profile required- and profile-optional learners whom you’ve invited, but who haven’t yet activated their accounts.
