LinkedIn provider setup for Users & Permissions#

Configure LinkedIn as a provider for Strapi's Users & Permissions feature by creating a LinkedIn app, registering the redirect URL, and entering your credentials in the Strapi admin panel.

The present page explains how to setup the LinkedIn provider for the Users & Permissions feature.

You have read the Users & Permissions providers documentation.

:::caution Deprecated scopes
LinkedIn has migrated to "Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect," deprecating the r_liteprofile and r_emailaddress scopes. Strapi's built-in LinkedIn provider still uses these deprecated scopes and the legacy Profile API. The provider may stop working when LinkedIn fully removes legacy support. The setup steps below reflect the current Strapi implementation but the LinkedIn developer portal steps (product selection, scopes) should follow LinkedIn's OpenID Connect documentation.
