now it gives me following error

API Connector error: the Oauth2 API LinkedIn is not configured properly - Received error from api The service LinkedIn just returned an error (HTTP 403). Please consult their documentation to ensure your call is setup properly. Raw error:

{“serviceErrorCode”:100,“message”:“Not enough permissions to access: GET /userinfo”,“status”:403}

you may need openid scopes. But there’s also another endpoint available with oauth2 for userinfo

https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me

this endpoint will have the id under id and not sub in this case.
Be sur to have all needed scopes set
