Add Admin Button Missing on LinkedIn Page

Is this your situation?

The short answer

What you see, and why

Check these first

• Check your own admin role on the Page.Verify: A member must be a super admin of the Page to add another admin to the Page.
• Check whether pending requests are sitting unresolved.Verify: One reason an admin cannot be added is that the page has pending admin requests that need a response.
• Check the current admin count against the limit.Verify: The admin limit for a LinkedIn Page includes all admin roles for the page.

How LinkedIn handles this

• LinkedIn may limit the number of admins who can be added to a Page to ensure that LinkedIn remains a trusted platform.
• Different Pages may have unique and dynamic limits on the number of admins that can be added.
• A member must be a super admin of the Page to add another admin to the Page.
• If no Pages are listed under My pages or Manage, you currently do not have admin access to any Page.

Which path applies to you?

1. Does the Add admin button not appear for you at all? You might need to request a higher level of admin access from a super admin of the Page.
2. Does an error message block adding admins when you try? The Page has reached or exceeded its current allowed admin limit.
3. Are there unresolved requests sitting in Manage admins? The Page has pending admin requests that need a response.
4. Are no Pages listed under My pages or Manage at all? You do not currently have admin access to any Page.

Step by step: finding the cause

1. Open the Page from your menu. An admin can click the Me dropdown at the top of the LinkedIn homepage, then select any Page listed under Manage.Confirm: Check whether the Page appears under Manage.
2. Go to the super admin view. To add an admin, go to your Page super admin view.Confirm: Check that Settings is visible in the left menu.
3. Open Manage admins. Click Settings in the left menu and select Manage admins.Confirm: Check for pending admin requests under this section.
4. Check the admin tabs. Click the Page admins or Paid media admins tab.Confirm: Check whether the Add admin button appears on this tab.
5. Look for the Add admin button. If the Add admin button is not visible, you might need to request a higher level of admin access from a super admin of the Page.Confirm: Check your own role shown on this screen.
6. Count current admins against the limit. The admin limit for the Page includes all admin roles for the page.Confirm: Check the total number of admins listed across roles.If this fails: Review the list and remove admins who no longer need access.
7. Check for pending requests. The page may have pending admin requests that need a response.Confirm: Check the Pending admin requests section for unanswered entries.

Common mistakes

• Assuming the button is broken. If the Add admin button is not visible, you might need to request a higher level of admin access from a super admin of the Page.Why it happens: You expect the button to appear regardless of which role you currently hold.
• Trying to add admins past the limit. Once the admin limit has been reached, an error message appears and prevents adding additional admins.Why it happens: Different Pages may have unique and dynamic limits on the number of admins that can be added.
• Ignoring pending requests. The page has pending admin requests that need a response.Why it happens: Resolving pending admin requests may allow a super admin to add new admins to the page.
