Connect with agency users on LinkedIn

To ensure you can be added as a page admin, you and each agency user should connect as first-degree connections on LinkedIn. While LinkedIn allows other connection levels, being direct connections helps avoid “can’t find member” issues when the client searches by the name.

01▸ Open each agency user’s LinkedIn profile URL and click "Connect".

02▸ For the agency, open LinkedIn and click "Accept" on the client’s connection request.

Open the page in super admin view

01▸ Click "Me" > under "Manage", select the company Page.

02▸ After the page loads, you should see "Settings" listed in the left-hand menu, confirming you are in the super admin view.

Add agency users as content admins

This role lets them publish posts, respond to comments, and view analytics, without exposing sensitive super admin controls.

01▸ Click "Settings" (left menu) and select "Manage admins".

02▸ Click the "Page admins" tab > click "Add admin".

03▸ In "Search for a member", enter the name, select the profile, set the role to "Content admin", and click "Save".

04▸ Confirm each user appears under "Page admins" with the Role "Content admin". They will see the Page under "Me" > "Manage" once access is active. Sometimes, access may take a few minutes to show.
