# Can admins use the LinkManager connect function?

This article covers LinkManager version 8 and new

This article will help answer this commonly asked question

Yes with LinkManager 8 and newer Basic and Domain administrators can also use the LinkManager connect function.

That means that a Basic or Domain administrator no longer needs to create a LinkManager account for themselves.

Depending on the access level (LinkManager, Basic Adm., or Domain Adm.) there are different options available. But all can use the LinkManager connect function.

Note: Distributor, Server Observer administrators CANNOT use the connect function.
