Professional plan permissions

On the Professional plan, you can share assets at four different levels: team, projects, files, and prototypes.

As this is a paid plan, you also have access to these extra sharing settings:

• Share just a prototype and not the file
• Restrict viewers from copying, sharing, or exporting
• Add password protection to files

Read our Guide to sharing and permissions for more information on how sharing works in Figma.

Teams

On the Professional plan, a person's team permissions and their Figma design and FigJam seat types determine how they can contribute to the team.

Their team permissions determine what team-level actions a member can take. For example: the ability to move or delete team files, or invite others to the team. All teams support the same permissions: can view, can edit, and admin. Explore team permissions →

Whether someone can edit files depends on their Figma design or FigJam seat type. A person's seat type is set at a team level. There are three seat types: viewer, viewer-restricted, and full. Explore seat types →

Team actions

Permissions table with a list of common team-level actions and tasks in Figma. Icons indicate if someone with that permission can ✓ or can't ✕ perform that task.

Projects

Every project has a team access setting. This controls the default access team members can have on that project. The default team access for all projects is can edit.

On the Professional plan, the project owner can update the project's team access setting.

• Can view: Team members can only view files in this project, even if they have can edit permissions on the team. 
• Can access (default): Team members can access the project based on their team-level permissions. For example, if a user has can view team permissions, and the team access level for the project is set to can access, then the user has can view access on the project.
• Remove team access: Remove a team’s access to a project. If you remove a team’s access to a project, team members can only access the project if they have already been directly invited or if project owner invites them afterward. You can re-add team access to the project at any time.

Team files

On the Professional plan, access to team files is based on a person's team permissions. Whether they can‌ edit the file depends on their Figma design or FigJam seat type.

• Prototype permissions: On paid plans, you can invite someone to a prototype without giving them access to the entire file. You can do this by giving the person Can view permission when sharing the prototype. This is the default permission if you share from presentation view.
• Restrict viewer actions: By default, anyone with can view access to the file will be able to copy and share the file and its contents. You can restrict viewers from copying, sharing, or exporting from the file.
• Link sharing settings: Files in a team also have link sharing permissions. This controls the default access for anyone outside the team who accesses the file from a link. On the Professional plan, you have the following link sharing settings:

Drafts

Everyone has access to draft files, which are separate from their team files and projects.

On the Professional plan, people can invite collaborators to files in their drafts with can view or can edit permissions.
