A group of symmetries of a (non-oriented) link \(L\) in \(\mathbf{S}^3\) is a finite group \(G\) acting on \(S^3\) preserving the orientation and leaving \(L\) invariant. In general, the group of symmetries of a hyperbolic link is a subgroup of the group of isometries of its complement. In this paper the authors prove that every finite group \(G\) is the group of orientation-preserving isometries of the complement of some hyperbolic link in \(\mathbf{S}^3\), moreover \(G\) acts freely.
