LinkedIn OAuth: Unauthorized scope w_organization_social when connecting Organization page

[Djagryn]

Hi all !
I’m trying to connect a LinkedIn Organization Page (not a personal profile) using the LinkedIn node in N8n. My goal is to publish posts directly on my SaaS company page via a workflow.

The personal account connection works fine. But when I try to connect the organization page using OAuth2, I get the following error when clicking “Connect my account”:

Error: Insufficient parameters for OAuth2 callback.
"error": "unauthorized_scope_error",
"error_description": "Scope "w_organization_social" is not authorized for your application"

---

What I’ve done so far:

• Created a LinkedIn Developer App
• Verified the app in LinkedIn Developer Portal
• Set the correct OAuth2 Redirect URL (https://n8n.example.com/rest/oauth2-credential/callback)
• Enabled all permissions available in the app settings
• Linked the app to the Organization Page

But the w_organization_social scope still seems to be unauthorized. I can’t find how to request or unlock this permission in the LinkedIn App dashboard or support documentation.

My question

• Is there a known way to get access to the w_organization_social scope for LinkedIn Org posting via N8n?
• Does the N8n LinkedIn integration officially support Organization-level posting (not just personal accounts)?
• Are there any additional configuration steps or LinkedIn approval processes needed?

---

Notes

• I’ve read the LinkedIn node documentation on the N8n site, but it doesn’t cover this use case.
• I’m happy to provide logs or test more if needed.

Additional Info: possible outdated documentation?

I found this line in the official N8n LinkedIn credentials documentation:

“To post as an organization, you need to put your app through LinkedIn’s Community Management App Review process.”

That links to this page:
Community Management App Review - LinkedIn | Microsoft Learn

However, this LinkedIn doc now opens with a Deprecation Notice, stating that the Community Management API and review process have been deprecated and replaced by a new process for getting access to organization-level permissions.

This means the information in the N8n documentation may no longer be valid, and could be misleading for anyone trying to implement org posting in 2025.

I believe this might be part of the issue — if so, is there a plan to update the LinkedIn integration in N8n to reflect these changes? Or do you have any workaround that users can follow in the meantime?

Thanks a lot for your support

I am having the same problem

Do you see you have the w_organization_social permission in your linkedin app in developer page ?

If not. You might need to apply the product Advertising APIs

I remembered it’s a form and submit it. Wait for few days to verified.

This was exactly the problem for me, the Advertising API was needed.

Can @Support_Team make sure the documentation gets updated?

@rhyswynn there is an “edit this page” button on the documentation page, which leads you to the open source repository of the documentation. For simpler edits, a non technical users can still contribute relatively easily via GitHub interface.
