  Teams give you access to a dedicated workspace where you can create files and projects. You can use teams to collaborate with others, or to structure and organize your own work.

  There are three different types of teams available. The best team for you will depend on your context, and what features or functionality you need. 

  • Starter teams (Free)
  • Education teams (Free)
  • Professional teams (Paid)

  For larger companies, our Organization plan (Paid) lets you create unlimited teams within your Organization working space.

  Learn more about which team or plan is best for you in our Teams and plans in Figma article.

  Are you a student or educator in a structured learning environment? You may be eligible for a free Education team. You will need to verify your Education status before upgrading to this team plan.

• Upgrade or downgrade permissions in a team

  Before you Start

  Who can use this feature

  You can update team permissions on any team plan.

  Both team Owners and Admins can update team permissions.

  Teams allow you to create and share resources, and collaborate on files and projects.

  When you invite someone to the team, you can choose what permissions they will have have. Their permissions will define how they can interact with files and projects in that team.

  You can update a member's permissions at any time. This means you can:

  • Upgrade a Viewer to an Editor to give them edit access to team files.
  • Downgrade an Editor to a Viewer to restrict their access. 

  Note: When you upgrade someone to an Editor, Figma will include them in your Editor count. Figma uses your Editor count to calculate your team invoice. Downgrading a member will remove them from both your Editor count and your billing.

  Update team permissions

  View anyone you have invited to the entire team in the Members tab.

  Caution: If you've invited a member to a specific file or project, but not the team itself, those collaborators won't show up in the Members tab.

  To add or remove these collaborators, you will need to update their permissions on the specific file or project they were added to.
