Group owners can always change the role of a member to an owner or manager and vice versa.
Notes:
-
A group owner can add up to 10 other owners including self, 20 group managers, and maintain a group membership of up to 2 million. Learn more about LinkedIn Groups limits.
-
A group owner can also demote other owners/managers to members. A group owner can’t remove the owner permissions or leave a group until another owner is added to manage the group.
To change the role of a member to an owner or manager:
-
Navigate to your Group homepage.
-
Click the Manage group button next to the group name.
-
From the member list, locate the member whose permissions you want to change.
Note: You can also click Filters on the top right of the screen and filter the members list by Locations, Current companies, Industries, or Schools. -
Click the More icon next to the member's name and select an option from the dropdown:
- Make owner
- Make manager
Note: If the member is an existing group owner or manager but you want to change their role to a member, you can select Remove admin permissions.
-
Click Confirm in the pop-up window that appears.
Note: If you're seeking to become the group owner, first join the group (if you're not already a member). Then contact the group owner to discuss ownership of the group. As part of the policy, LinkedIn won’t be able to add another owner to the group without the permission from one of the existing owners, even if the owners are inactive on the group.
