Removing a user from your LinkedIn Company Page

To remove someone from your LinkedIn Company Page, go to the Admin Tools section, find the Members list, locate the person's name, and click the trash icon next to their profile. The person loses access to post, edit, and manage the page when ready, though they can still see the page exists if it is public. You need Admin or Super Admin status on the page to remove anyone — regular members cannot remove other members.

The process takes about 30 seconds once you are in the right menu. LinkedIn does not send the removed person a notification, so they will discover the change only when they try to access the page and find they no longer have permission.

Key Takeaways

  • Only people with Admin or Super Admin roles can remove members from a Company Page.
  • Removed members lose all editing and posting rights when ready, but can still view the page if it is public.
  • The person you remove does not receive a notification from LinkedIn about being removed.
  • You can change someone's role (from Admin to Member, for example) instead of removing them entirely if you only want to reduce their permissions.
  • If you remove someone by mistake, you can re-add them through the same Members menu.

Finding the Members list on your Company Page

Start by going to your Company Page on LinkedIn. Look for the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner of the page header, or look for a gear icon labeled Settings. Click it and select Admin Tools from the dropdown menu.

Once you are in Admin Tools, you will see several options on the left side. Click Members. This opens a list of everyone who has access to manage or post on your Company Page, organized by their role (Super Admin, Admin, Member, etc.).

Locating and removing the specific person

Scroll through the Members list until you find the person you want to remove. If the list is long, use the search box at the top of the Members section — type their name or email address to narrow it down quickly.

Once you find them, look at the far right of their row. You will see a trash icon (a small garbage can). Click it. LinkedIn will ask you to confirm the removal with a message like "Are you sure you want to remove this member?" Click the confirmation button, and they are removed when ready.

What happens after you remove someone

The person loses the ability to post on the page, edit the page description or cover photo, manage comments, or access the analytics dashboard. If the Company Page is public, they can still view it and see all posts — removal only strips their admin and posting permissions.

If your Company Page is private (visible only to members), the removed person can no longer see it at all. They will not receive an email or notification from LinkedIn telling them they were removed, so if you need them to know, you should tell them separately.

Changing someone's role instead of removing them

If you want to reduce someone's permissions without removing them entirely, you can change their role instead. In the Members list, click on the person's current role (it appears as a label like "Admin" or "Member"). A dropdown menu appears with other role options.

Choose the new role you want to assign them. A Member can post and comment but cannot edit page settings or manage other members. A Moderator can manage comments and flag spam but cannot post or edit settings. An Admin can do almost everything except remove other Admins or change the Super Admin. This approach keeps them connected to the page while limiting what they can do.

Fixing a removal mistake

If you remove someone by mistake, you can add them back. Go to Admin Tools, click Members, and look for an "Add member" button or link (usually at the top of the Members section). Enter their name or email address, select their role, and click Add. They regain access with the role you assign them.

LinkedIn does not keep a record of how long someone was removed or what they missed while they were gone — adding them back straightforward restores their access from that point forward.

Who can remove members and why permissions matter

Only Super Admins and Admins can remove members from a Company Page. If you are a regular Member or Moderator, you will not see the trash icon next to other members' names, and the Members menu may not be available to you at all.

If you need to remove someone but do not have Admin access, contact whoever set up the Company Page or ask the current Super Admin to do it for you. There is usually only one Super Admin per page — that person has the most control and can remove or demote anyone else, including other Admins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the person know they were removed from the Company Page?

LinkedIn does not send them a notification. They will only learn about they try to access the page and see an error message, or if you tell them. If you want them to know, you need to contact them directly through email, message, or another method.

Can I remove a Super Admin from the Company Page?

No. Super Admins cannot be removed by other Admins. Only the Super Admin can remove themselves, or LinkedIn can remove them if the account is deleted. If you need a Super Admin removed, you will need to contact LinkedIn support or ask the Super Admin to step down and transfer the role to someone else.

What if I remove someone and they reapply to join the Company Page?

If your Company Page allows people to request access, a removed person can request to join again. You will see their request in the Members menu and can approve or deny it. There is no automatic block preventing them from reapplying.

Can I see who removed a member from the Company Page?

LinkedIn does not provide a removal log or audit trail showing who removed which member and when. You can only see the current Members list and their current roles. If you need to track changes, you will have to keep your own records.

Does removing someone from the Company Page affect their personal LinkedIn profile?

No. Removing someone from your Company Page does not delete their account, change their profile, or affect their ability to use LinkedIn elsewhere. It only removes their access to manage or post on your specific Company Page.
