  Professional, Organization, or Enterprise

  In Professional, Organization, or Enterprise teams, a person's permissions on the projects will determine their maximum access to the files in that project.

  People have both a Figma design and FigJam role. Only people with editor roles on a product can edit file of that type.

  For example: Jenny works at an agency and is helping the team build out their design system. The team owner gave Jenny edit access to the Design system project, an editor role on Figma design, and a viewer-restricted role on FigJam. Even though she has edit access to the project, she can only edit the Figma design files in that project.

  2. Click the member's current permissions
     • Select Can view to remove their edit access. They can still view and comment on any files and prototypes.
     • Select Can edit to grant them edit access to any files in this project. Whether they can edit files in this project will depend on their Figma design or FigJam role.
     • Select Remove to remove their access to the project.
  3. Team or organization admins can adjust the person's role for FigJam and Figma design files:
     • Manage team members and permissions →

  Adjust team access

  Professional teams can also adjust the team's access to the project.

  This allows people to restrict access to specific project, as well as give members permissions on a project that differ from their team permissions.

  To adjust or remove team access for a project:

  1. Open the project in the file browser.
  2. Click the Share button in the top-right corner.
  3. Click Members of team name and select the team access.
     • Can view: Only the project creator or owner can edit a view-only project. Team members can only view files in this project, even if they have can edit permissions on the team.
     • Can edit: The default permission for team projects. Members can access projects based on their team-level permissions and their FigJam or Figma design role.
     • Remove team access: If you create an invite-only project, team members won't have access to this project. To give them access, invite them to the project with can view or can edit access. Invite to projects, files, and prototypes →

  Adjust or remove access

  If you've invited someone to a file, they will have explicit permissions on that file. You can adjust their permissions on the file to upgrade, downgrade, or remove their access to that file.

  When you remove someone's access to a file, Figma will prevent them from being able to view or edit the file. If they access the file via the URL, they will see a 404 error message.

• Remove access to teams

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan

  Team owners, admins, and editors can remove team members or adjust their access

  If someone leaves your company - or doesn't need access to your projects any more - you can remove them from your team. You can also remove people who aren't members of the team, but have access to team files or project.

  Transfer ownership of files and projects

  When you remove a team member, Figma will transfer the ownership of any team projects or files to the team owner. This doesn't include any files the member has in their drafts.

  Only the current owner of a resource can transfer ownership. If you want to assign ownership to another member, the team owner can do this once the member is removed. Or, you can ask the member to transfer ownership before you remove them.

  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.

  Remove team access

  Remove the member's access to the team. This removes their ability to access team resources, and any inherited access to team files and projects.

  If a member has access to individual files and projects, Figma will remove the collaborator from those resources too.

  1. Select the team in the left sidebar.
  2. Select Members at the top of the page.
  3. Click next to the member in the list.
  4. Select Remove from the options.

  Remove files and project access

  The members tab includes anyone who has can edit permissions on a team file or project. This can include people who don't have a role on the team itself.

  To remove their access you need to remove them from those individual files and projects.

  1. If a member doesn't have team-level permissions, Figma will show you how many files they have Can edit access to instead. Hover over the i icon to view their current edit access:
  2. Click See edit access to open the access modal and view files and projects they can edit.
  3. View and manage their access to files and projects:
     • Click project name to open the project, decide if they need edit access and adjust their permissions on the project. Adjust project permissions →
     • Click file name to open the share modal for that file. You can decide if they need edit access and adjust their permissions on that file. Adjust file permissions →
     • If you don't want to remove their access entirely, you can update their role to remove them from the team's subscription. Manage team permissions and roles →

   

• Leave teams

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan.

  If you no longer need to be a part of a team, you can leave it. When you leave a team, you will no longer have access to any files, projects, or libraries in that team.

  If you want access to the team again in the future, an existing member can always invite you back to the team.

  Caution: If you're the last member of the team, Figma will delete the team and any files and projects when you leave it. The team owner or a team admins has 28 days to restore the team once it's delete. Restore a deleted team →

  Transfer ownership

  If you're the owner of a team and wanting to leave the team, we recommend transferring ownership of the team before you do.

  If you are the owner of any team files or projects, Figma will transfer ownership of those projects or files to the current owner of the team when you leave.

  If the team is using your credit card or billing details, Figma won't remove your billing details. Make sure to update the billing details for the team to a company card, or another team member's card.
