• Invite team members

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan

  Any team member can invite collaborators to a team. Members can invite others at a permission level equal, or less than their own.

  Teams are shared workspaces where you can create resources, and collaborate on files and projects. Invite your co-workers and co-conspirators to your team to make the most of the collaborative design process in Figma.

  Control how collaborators interact with your team with permissions. There are two main permission levels in a team: can view (viewers) and can edit (editors). Learn more about permissions in a team →

  People can only invite other members at a permission level ≤ less than or equal to their own permissions:

  • Anyone with can edit access can invite with can view or can edit permissions
  • Anyone with can view access can invite with can view permissions

  Tip! You can also invite people to individual files or projects within your team. Invite to projects, files, and prototypes →

  Invitations

  If you know a person's email address, you can add them to the team via an invitation. Figma will send an invitation email to their address with a button to accept the invite.

  If they already have a Figma account, they will also receive an in app notification for the invitation, which they can accept to join the team. Accept invitations →

  If they don't have an account, they can sign up for a Figma account as part of the acceptance process.

  Invite to team

  Starter or Education Professional or Organization

  Starter or Education

  In Starter or Education teams, a person's team permissions determine if they can edit team files and projects. Roles and permissions on teams →

  1. Open the team page in the file browser.
  2. Select the Members tab and click Invite in the top-right corner.
  3. Enter their email address in the invite someone field.
  4. Click to adjust their permissions.
     • Select Can view to give them view-only access to the team. They'll only be able to view and comment on files and prototypes.
     • Select can edit to give them edit access to the team. This will allow them to edit any Figma design or Figjam files in the team.
  5. Click Send invite to send an email invitation to their address. If they're already using Figma, they'll get an in app notification as well.

  Professional or Organization

  In Professional or Organization teams, a person's Figma design or FigJam role will determine which team files and projects they can edit.

  You can still invite people to the team with can view or can edit access, but this will only control their default access and team-level actions.

  • Can view gives them view-only access to the team. They'll only be able to view and comment on files and prototypes.
  • Can edit gives them edit access to the team. This will allow them to perform any team-level actions, like managing projects. Whether they can edit any Figma design or Figjam files depends on their role on that product.

  Note: Figma bases Professional teams and Organization's billing on the number of people with editor roles on each product. To control an individual's access, you can adjust FigJam and Figma designs roles.

  Team admins can reset invite links or turn them off to expire existing links which haven't been redeemed.

  When you remove a collaborator, Figma will revoke their team permissions and access to files and projects.

  Note: If they are the current owner of the team, they will need to transfer ownership of the team to another member before you can remove them.
