How to Delete a User from a LinkedIn Company Page

Managing who has access to your LinkedIn Company Page is an essential part of maintaining your brand's security and credibility. Whether an employee has left the company, a contractor's project has ended, or admin permissions were granted by mistake, removing a user from your LinkedIn Company Page is a straightforward process — once you know where to look.

Understanding LinkedIn Company Page Roles

Before removing anyone, it helps to understand how LinkedIn structures page access. LinkedIn Company Pages use a role-based permission system with several distinct admin levels:

Only a Super Admin can add or remove other admins from a Company Page. If you don't have Super Admin access, you'll need to contact someone who does before any changes can be made.

Who Can Be "Deleted" from a LinkedIn Company Page?

It's worth clarifying what "deleting a user" actually means in LinkedIn's context. You're not deleting their LinkedIn account — you're removing their admin role from your Company Page. Their personal LinkedIn profile remains completely unaffected. They simply lose the ability to manage, post to, or view the page's backend.

This distinction matters because:

• The person keeps their LinkedIn account and personal connections
• They can still follow your Company Page as a regular user
• Any content they posted while an admin stays on the page unless manually removed
• They receive no notification that their access was revoked (LinkedIn does not send an automatic alert)

Step-by-Step: How to Remove an Admin from Your LinkedIn Company Page

On Desktop (Recommended)

1. Navigate to your LinkedIn Company Page while logged into the account that holds Super Admin access
2. Click "Admin tools" in the upper right area of the page
3. Select "Page admins" from the dropdown menu
4. A list of all current admins will appear, sorted by role
5. Find the person you want to remove
6. Click the pencil/edit icon next to their name
7. Select "Remove [Name] as admin"
8. Confirm the removal when prompted

The change takes effect immediately. That user loses access to the page's admin panel as soon as you confirm.

On Mobile

LinkedIn's mobile app has more limited admin management features. For removing users, desktop is strongly recommended. The mobile experience often restricts access to the full admin management panel, and some options may not appear at all depending on your app version.

Common Reasons Removal Doesn't Work 🔧

If you're having trouble removing a user, a few variables could be at play:

• You're not a Super Admin. Content Admins and Analysts cannot manage other admins. Only Super Admins have this capability.
• The person is the only Super Admin. LinkedIn requires at least one Super Admin on every page. If you're trying to remove the sole Super Admin, you'll need to assign that role to another person first.
• Account connection issues. In rare cases, a page that was originally set up as a Showcase Page or a legacy company profile may have different admin structures than a standard Company Page.
• The user's account is deactivated. A deactivated LinkedIn account may still appear in your admin list. You can still remove it, but the interface may behave slightly differently.

What Happens to Their Contributions?

This is a question many page managers overlook. When you remove an admin:

• Posts and updates they published while an admin remain live on the page
• Analytics data tied to their activity remains in your dashboard
• They cannot post new content, reply to comments as the page, or access any page insights going forward

If their past posts are a concern — for example, if they published something off-brand or the relationship ended badly — you'll need to manually delete those posts separately. Removing admin access does not retroactively unpublish content.

Multiple Pages and Organizational Complexity

If your organization manages several LinkedIn properties — multiple Company Pages, Showcase Pages, or even a LinkedIn Learning account — admin access for each is managed independently. Removing someone from one page does not remove them from others. You'd need to repeat the removal process for every page where they hold a role.

This is a common oversight in larger organizations where employees held admin rights across several brand pages simultaneously.

The Variable That Changes Everything

How smoothly this process goes depends heavily on your specific setup: how the page was originally created, who currently holds Super Admin rights, and how your organization's LinkedIn accounts are structured. A small business with a single admin managing one page has a very different experience than a global company with layered admin hierarchies across regional pages. Your page's history — including whether it was migrated from an older LinkedIn format — can also surface quirks that the standard removal process doesn't fully account for.
