> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).
You can access these settings in the **Settings** application under the **Security & Membership** -> **Authentication** -> **LinkedIn** category. In this category, you can adjust settings related to [LinkedIn authentication](https://docs.kentico.com/k12sp/managing-users/user-registration-and-authentication/configuring-third-party-authentication-services/linkedin-authentication.md). This feature enables live site users to register and sign in to your website using their LinkedIn credentials.

| Client ID | Enter the **Client ID** of your LinkedIn application. See [Creating your LinkedIn application](https://docs.kentico.com/k12sp/managing-users/user-registration-and-authentication/configuring-third-party-authentication-services/linkedin-authentication/creating-your-linkedin-application.md). |
| Client secret | Enter the **Client Secret** of your LinkedIn application. |
| Access token | Click the **Get** button to obtain a site-wide access token required to execute LinkedIn API calls that require authorization. The **Client ID** and **Client secret** values must be filled in. After the token expires, it is renewed automatically. |
| Authentication | |
| Enable LinkedIn authentication | Indicates if LinkedIn authentication is enabled. |
| Assign new users to roles | New users registered via LinkedIn authentication will be assigned to the specified roles. |
| Required user data page | URL of the page containing the **LinkedIn required data** web part. If entered and a new LinkedIn user signs in to the site for the first time, their user account is not created automatically, but they are redirected to this page and required to enter some additional data (or merge with an existing account) using the web part. |
| Requested permissions (scope) | Sets the LinkedIn permissions that Kentico requests on behalf of users when accessing LinkedIn resources.
The minimum required permission (and default value) is: **r\_liteprofile**
If you wish to load birth date values for users who register on your site using their LinkedIn credentials, your LinkedIn application requires the **r\_fullprofile** permission. To obtain this permission, you need to apply and be approved as a LinkedIn Partner.
For custom scenarios, you can enter multiple permissions separated by spaces. |
