Actions an admin can take with specific permissions in Recruiter

Last updated: 1 month ago

As a Product Settings and Account Center Admin in LinkedIn Recruiter, you can perform specific tasks with these permissions.

Important to know

To increase security, LinkedIn requires admins to turn on two-factor authentication through their LinkedIn.com accounts to access their Recruiter account.

Existing admins can manage permissions for other admins. Admin permissions are unlimited and can be granted to as many users as you'd like in Recruiter.

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.
