This article is for IT administrators configuring Figma on employee machines
You can configure some desktop app settings via a property list. If you are an administrator on the computer, you can use this method to prevent non-admin users from modifying these settings. The following settings can be configured via a property list:
| Key | Description | Value Type |
| DisableUpdater | If true, automatic updates will be disabled | Boolean |
| AllowedOriginHosts | Domains that can be loaded within the Figma app | Array |
ProxyUrl |
If specified, all requests will be routed via this URL. http://, https://, ftp://, and socks:// schemes are accepted. For a direct connection, specify direct://. Advanced configuration options are available by using the |
String |
The AllowedOriginHosts setting is a list of non-Figma domains that can be loaded in the app. For example, if https://*.example.com is on the list, the app will allow redirects to URLs on any subdomain of example.com.
Configure these settings with a property list file during the defaults command. The app identifier for the Figma Desktop app is com.figma.Desktop. For more information on how to edit property lists, see Edit property list in Terminal on Mac from Apple’s help documentation.
For example, use the command defaults write com.figma.Desktop ProxyUrl "https://myproxy.com". This creates or updates a property list file at ~/Library/Preferences/com.figma.Desktop.plist. Move this file to /Library/Preferences/com.figma.Desktop.plist to apply it to all users on a computer.
