# LinkedIn provider setup for Users & Permissions

> Source: https://docs.strapi.io/cms/configurations/users-and-permissions-providers/linkedin

Configure LinkedIn as a provider for Strapi's Users & Permissions feature by creating a LinkedIn app, registering the redirect URL, and entering your credentials in the Strapi admin panel.

The present page explains how to setup the LinkedIn provider for the [Users & Permissions feature](/cms/features/users-permissions).

:::prerequisites
You have read the [Users & Permissions providers documentation](/cms/configurations/users-and-permissions-providers).
:::

:::caution Deprecated scopes
LinkedIn has migrated to "Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect," deprecating the `r_liteprofile` and `r_emailaddress` scopes. Strapi's built-in LinkedIn provider still uses these deprecated scopes and the legacy Profile API. The provider **may stop working** when LinkedIn fully removes legacy support. The setup steps below reflect the current Strapi implementation but the LinkedIn developer portal steps (product selection, scopes) should follow LinkedIn's [OpenID Connect documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/sign-in-with-linkedin-v2).
