i am getting 403 error but my credential is properly set in node
Hi @Happy_Patel, welcome!
Please try to turn off “Organisation Support” in your LinkedIn credentials, also make sure you have all the right permissions enabled.
Hi @Happy_Patel
A 403 error basically means that while LinkedIn knows who you are, it is refusing to let you perform the action you’re asking for. It is not a problem with your password or login, but rather a “permission” problem. It’s like having a key that lets you into the front door of a building, but doesn’t give you the key to the specific office you’re trying to enter.
The most common cause is a simple setting inside n8n. There is a toggle called “Organization Support” in the credential settings. Because you are using a personal profile and not a company page, this must be turned off. If it is enabled, LinkedIn expects a business account and will block any request coming from a personal one.
You also need to check your settings in the LinkedIn Developer Portal. Your app needs specific “Products” enabled to work. You must ensure that “Share on LinkedIn” and “Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect” are both added. Crucially, they must show a green “Added” status; if they are still “Pending” or “In Review,” LinkedIn will keep blocking your posts with a 403 error.
Next, you need to make sure you have the right “scopes,” which are essentially the specific permissions you are requesting. For posting, the most important one is w_member_social. If you changed these settings recently, you cannot just save them; you must delete your LinkedIn credential in n8n and create a brand new one to force LinkedIn to ask you for those new permissions again.
Finally, make sure your n8n software is up to date. LinkedIn frequently changes the technical “headers” it requires for API calls. If you are using an older version of n8n, it might be sending outdated information that LinkedIn no longer accepts. Updating to the latest version often fixes the 403 error automatically without any other changes.

Hello, thank you for your support. I have already tried this, and all permissions are correctly configured. My page connects to n8n without any issues, but I am still unable to connect my personal account. Any guidance on what could be causing this would be appreciated.
Hi @Happy_Patel Please turn off the organisation support toggle, and once that is off, now it should work, but in case it doesn’t, create a new set of credentials for LinkedIn to force grant the w_member_social permission in the scope let me know how this goes.
@kjooleng Thank you for helping me. Now it’s working
