How the account settings work in hierarchy
As with any other posting destination, the Default Login, Groups, Subgroups and Users settings work in the following hierarchy:
- If you add one account to the Default login and nothing elsewhere, then all users will be connected to that account for posting.
- If you add an account at Group level, then all users in the Group will be connected to that account for posting - including those in any Subgroups. This overrides any account added at Default Login level.
- If you add an account at Subgroup level, then all users in the Subgroup will be connected to that account for posting. This overrides any account added at Default Login and Group level.
- If you add an account at User level, then the account will be applied to that User. This overrides any account added at Default Login, Group, and Subgroup level.
Tip:
If you do not want some Groups, Subgroups or Users to be able to post to Linkedin Jobs at all, you can hide this option from them by going to 'Quotas' and adding '0' against them in the 'Quota' and 'Reset' fields.
