# LinkedIn Ads connection guide

This guide contains all permissions and requirements for connecting your LinkedIn Ads data to Supermetrics.

You can connect to data sources from the [Data sources page on the Supermetrics Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/token-management). On the Hub, you can also [share an authentication link](/v1/docs/how-to-connect-to-data-sources-from-supermetrics-hub#share-authentication-link) to connect to a data source you don't have direct access to.

After you connect to the data source on the Hub, you can use the data source connection in [all available destinations](/v1/docs/linkedin-ads-connection-guide#connection-instructions).

## Required permissions

To connect to LinkedIn Ads, you need:

- A LinkedIn account with at least **Viewer** access to an ad account. [Learn how to grant access to LinkedIn accounts](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/5753/adding-editing-and-removing-user-permissions-on-advertising-accounts?lang=en).
- **Admin** access to the Company Page is required for creative-level (ad content and metadata) granularity.

## Connection instructions

1. Select the LinkedIn Ads data source [on the Supermetrics Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/token-management) or in the data destination.
