Moderate your LinkedIn group

Manage group membership
  • If you’re a group owner, update Group Rules by editing your group information. Here you can list out the rules and criteria for members to join the group.

  • If you’re a group admin (owner or manager), then you can review the member requests to join and approve only applicable members.

  • Group admins can also send invites to their LinkedIn connections who can add value to the group.

Manage the content posted in groups

Group admins can approve or deny member posts using the Post Approval Feature in Your LinkedIn Group. Group owners can enable the ability to review new posts before they are shared with members and disable this feature at any time. Group Managers cannot enable or disable this feature.

If the reviewing pending posts feature is enabled.
  • Group members will be notified that their post is pending review after they have posted.
  • Pending posts can be approved or rejected by group managers and group owners.
  • Group members don’t receive notifications when their posts are rejected by admins
  • It is important to review pending posts frequently.
  • Pending posts older than 14 days will be deleted automatically.
  • Disabling this feature will still require approval for any pending posts.
  • If a member makes edits to an already approved post, the edits won’t require further approval from the admins. We encourage group admins to monitor such activities in the group posts and take necessary actions if a member doesn’t adhere to group rules and regulations.
Note: At this time, group members are not to be notified if their post is rejected or removed. We encourage group admins to message the members and explain the reason for denying their posts and give them guidance on how to submit relevant posts.
Remove spam from your group

If you’re a group owner or manager, and you identify spam or other inappropriate content in your group, you can delete posts and comments.

Group owner or manager can also remove or block the member. This will automatically remove all their content from the group.
