How do I set up my institution's LinkedIn profile as the issuing organization?

As a Canvas Credentials organization admin or badge issuer, you can link your issuing organization to your institution's LinkedIn profile. To enable this functionality, you need your LinkedIn Company ID.

You can set the LinkedIn profile either at the organization level or at the issuer level. If you set it up at the organization level, then it is applied to all issuers in the organization, unless overwritten at the issuer level.
