https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/article/20140326191638-235001-how-to-write-your-first-blog-post-on-the-linkedin-publishing-platform

"Even if you don't get an email, you will know if you have access if there
is a pencil icon either to the side or below the paper clip icon in your
post status update box in your LinkedIn home page."
