Campaign Manager account roles — the agency is assigned a role on your ad account. You'll find it under Campaign Manager → Account settings → Manage access. The client keeps ownership of LinkedIn Campaign Manager ad accounts; the agency is granted only what you assign.
Grant the least access the work needs. Here's what each level on LinkedIn Ads can do:
| Access level / role | What it can do |
|---|---|
| Account manager | Full control of the ad account including users and billing. |
| Campaign manager | Create and manage campaigns; no user/billing control. Usual agency level. |
| Creative manager | Manage creatives only. |
| Viewer | View campaigns and reports. |
| Billing admin | Manage billing and payments. |
1–2 minutes in Campaign Manager; access is immediate once you add and save.
You assign a role to the agency's own LinkedIn identity — no password shared. Remove or change the role anytime from Manage access.
Every step above is why agencies move to a single link. HandItSafe requests exactly the LinkedIn Ads access you need — the client approves it through LinkedIn Ads's own process in about three minutes, no password shared, and keeps a panel to see and remove access anytime. That visibility is why clients approve faster, and it makes offboarding a one-tap job later.
