the person you want to add to the list. If so, then you can choose to assign the member as a full super admin, a more restricted content admin, and the very limited analyst role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what do you do if the LinkedIn member doesn\u2019t appear on the list? That\u2019s the problem that this article is addressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is most likely to happen when you are working on a new project. You and the other LinkedIn member weren\u2019t connected previously, so this is a new relationship of working together on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, because you two aren\u2019t connected within three degrees on LinkedIn, you don\u2019t show up on each other\u2019s lists of connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to fixing this issue is to show LinkedIn that you have a relationship. I address this in the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Establish_The_Relationship_On_LinkedIn\"><\/span>Establish The Relationship On LinkedIn<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to show the LinkedIn algorithm (and their support staff if necessary) that there is a genuine relationship between you and the LinkedIn member you want to add as Page admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other LinkedIn member should take these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Make sure that the current work experience section uses the company page<\/li><li>Follow the company page<\/li><li>Like a post on the company page<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An optional step is to ensure the member\u2019s LinkedIn email address is at the same domain as yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the member takes these steps, then the LinkedIn algorithm should eventually show the member to you as a possible connection. If you can connect that way, then you\u2019ll be able to follow the standard steps in the previous section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is that the algorithm can take months to show the connections you want, especially if both of you are relatively new members of LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, increasing the relationship helps with the next steps. Keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ask_The_LinkedIn_Member_To_Send_An_Admin_Request\"><\/span>Ask The LinkedIn Member To Send An Admin Request<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the previous section, I advised that the LinkedIn member follows the company page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next stage is to ask the member to request admin access to the company page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Open the company page<\/li><li>Click the \u201cMore\u201d button in the top menu<\/li><li>Choose \u201cRequest Admin Access\u201d from the drop-down menu<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"579\" height=\"190\" src=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/request-admin-access.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/request-admin-access.jpg 579w, https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/request-admin-access-300x98.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You, as the administrator, should receive this request.

Click on the link which takes you to the \u201cManage Admins\u201d page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With luck, you will see the LinkedIn member listed for approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, this doesn\u2019t always work. You may see no evidence that a request was made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you ask the member to send another request \u2013 they can\u2019t. If they try, they will get an error saying that a request is pending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is simply a glitch in LinkedIn\u2019s feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you both have followed all the correct steps. The final step is to contact Customer Support and get them to process the admin request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_LinkedIn_Customer_Support_To_Complete_The_Process\"><\/span>Contact LinkedIn Customer Support To Complete The Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not always obvious how to contact customer support on LinkedIn. They move the contact feature around from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trick for free tier members is to open a help page on the subject of Company Pages and scroll to the bottom to find the \u201cContact us\u201d link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have to click around for a bit to get to the support contact page which lets you open a support ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you fill in the details, ask for them to add the LinkedIn member as an admin to your page. You should put the URL link to the member\u2019s profile page into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason why we went through the earlier steps in this article of sending an admin request is that the Customer Support personnel will see a legitimate request that is \u201cstuck\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This should avoid a tedious back-and-forth with Customer Support needing to clarify details of your request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have created a new company page, you may experience problems adding other admins to it.
