Get access to a client's LinkedIn ad account
LinkedIn gives ad account access to individual LinkedIn members. Your client signs in with LinkedIn on the link, then adds each person you listed in Campaign Manager at the role you chose. The link shows them exactly who and what.

LinkedIn Ads: common questions
- Can a company be added instead of people?
- LinkedIn ad accounts grant access to members, not companies. List everyone at your agency who needs access and each is added.
- Which role should an agency ask for?
- Campaign manager covers building and running campaigns. Account manager is only needed if you manage users for the client.
