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 |
The AllowedOriginHosts setting is an array of non-Figma domains that can be loaded in the app. For example, if https://*.zscloud.net is on the list, the app will allow redirects to URLs on any subdomain of zscloud.net.
Create a property list file named com.figma.Desktop.plist and add the settings you wish to configure. Place the file in ~/Library/Preferences to apply them to a single user or /Library/Preferences to apply them to all users on a computer. For more information on how to edit property lists, see Edit property list in Terminal on Mac from Apple’s help documentation.
