Unlike Company Pages, LinkedIn personal profiles do not have a native multi-user access system. Here are the best approaches for working with an agency on your personal LinkedIn presence without compromising security.
Recommended: Content Collaboration Without Direct Access
The safest approach keeps the agency out of your account entirely:
- Agency drafts posts in a shared document (Google Docs, Notion)
- You review and approve each piece of content
- You copy and post the content yourself on LinkedIn
- You can also use LinkedIn's native post scheduling (clock icon at post creation) to batch schedule approved content
Why This Approach Works Best
- ✓ Complete security — no credential sharing required
- ✓ Your voice stays authentic — you review everything
- ✓ No risk of LinkedIn account flags for unusual login activity
- ✓ Compliant with LinkedIn's Terms of Service
Alternative: Approved Third-Party Tools
Platforms like Hootsuite and Sprout Social integrate with LinkedIn via OAuth, allowing agencies to schedule posts without holding your password. You authorise the tool, the agency posts through it, and you can revoke access any time by disconnecting the app in LinkedIn Settings → Data privacy → Other applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it against LinkedIn rules to have an agency ghostwrite my posts? LinkedIn's ToS state accounts should represent real individuals. Using approved third-party tools or the content collaboration method (you do the posting) is the safest approach.
Can I maintain my authentic voice? Yes — provide the agency with writing samples and a brand voice document, then review all content before posting.
