What is the difference between a seat and a team member?
We-Connect categorizes LinkedIn accounts and team members differently. Understanding these differences is important if you manage large team on We-Connect,
A seat refers to any LinkedIn account connected to We-Connect. If you want to add a team member who can run campaigns from their personal LinkedIn, you will have to add a seat to your subscription.
A team member refers to a user who can manage We-Connect for other LinkedIn accounts. While you need to upgrade your subscription to add a seat, you can add a team member to your account at any time at no extra charge.
Adding team members is a great option for:
Adding users without sharing LinkedIn credentials
Providing clients insight into your activity
Setting up specific permissions for users in We-Connect
Note: A 'Private' team member is a paid user seat hidden from other team members or account admin. This is a popular choice for enterprises or large agencies that have concerns about other users accessing a specific LinkedIn account.
How to add a team member to We-Connect?
As mentioned above, a team member is someone who has access to We-Connect without connecting a LinkedIn profile. You can add a team member to We-Connect completely for free! Here’s how:
Step 1: From the settings menu, click ‘My Team,' then, ‘Add New.’
From the default view of the My Team page, you can see a list of team members who have access to your We-Connect account.
Step 2: Import the credentials for the new team member.
You’ll need to include information such as:
First Name: The first name of your team member.
Last Name: The last name of your team member.
Email Address: The email address that team members will use to log in and receive notifications.
Password: The password for that user (WC can generate one for you).
In the next step, we’ll cover access levels and permissions.
Step 3: Choose access levels and set permissions.
There are a few different access levels for team members within We-Connect. Here’s a deeper look:
Access Type:
Shared: With full access to all pages, the team member can be seen by other users and admins.
Private: Access will provide the option to add an additional LinkedIn seat that is hidden from other team members or admins on your account (campaign data will still remain in reports). If you choose private access, you will need to add another seat to your subscription.
Access Level:
Read-only: The ability to view only information in We-Connect (which can be specified to certain LinkedIn profiles).
Full Access: The ability to create, edit, or delete any information in We-Connect (can be tailored to specific LinkedIn accounts).
Permissions:
Permissions are toggled off by default, but turning them on allows you to fine-tune each team member's user experience. For example, you can set permissions on specific pages of We-Connect, allowing team members to edit, view, or have no access to certain pages.
Step 4: Click ‘Invite Team Member’ to send an invite to their email.
From there, all the team member needs to do is log in to We-Connect using their email and password.
