You do not need to link a LinkedIn account for a Ghost to find posts. Link one only to act on LinkedIn Finds from PitchGhost, such as commenting on a post or sending its author an invite. PitchGhost uses a linked account only when you, or a teammate you allow, takes an action. It never posts on its own.

A linked profile also lets a [LinkedIn user monitor](/docs/platforms/linkedin-user-monitor) Ghost watch your 1st-degree connections.

## Link an account

PitchGhost links the LinkedIn session that is signed in to your browser, through the [PitchGhost Instant Actions extension](/docs/integrations/instant-action-extension). Owners and admins link accounts, because only they can open Settings. Your company needs an active plan.

1.  Install the extension and sign in to LinkedIn.com in the same browser.
2.  In PitchGhost, open Settings then Integrations.
3.  On the **LinkedIn** card, click Add. If an account is already linked, the button says Settings.
4.  Under LinkedIn accounts in this browser, click Link next to your profile, and next to each company page you want to use.

The list shows your personal profile first, then the company pages you administer. If nothing appears, sign in to LinkedIn.com and click the refresh icon next to the heading.

Once an account is linked, pick it on a LinkedIn Find to [take an action](/docs/finds/taking-action). A company page can do everything a personal profile can except send invites.

## Choose who can use the account

A new account is usable only by you. To share it, click the access button next to the account, which says Only you at first.

On the Members tab, check Everyone in the company or pick the members who may act with the account. On the API tab, pick which [API keys](/docs/account/api-keys) may use it.

Only the person who linked an account can change its access. The Billing role cannot link or use accounts.

## When the session expires

The extension keeps linked sessions up to date while it is installed. If you sign out of LinkedIn, or LinkedIn ends the session, the account shows a warning icon. Sign in to LinkedIn.com again, open the **LinkedIn** card, and click Refresh next to the account.

## Disconnect an account

Open the **LinkedIn** card, click the trash icon next to the account, and confirm with Disconnect.

You can disconnect accounts you linked. Admins and owners can disconnect anyone’s. Removing a member from the company also removes the accounts they linked.
