Who can use this feature
Supported on the Figma Organization plan
Only organization admins can access and adjust an organization's Admin settings
Are you an admin of a team? Check out our Guide to team administration →.

In this article we'll give you an overview of the admin settings in an organization. We'll explore how to adjust members, view teams, monitor activity, manage billing, and other organization settings.
Organization admins can access the organization's Admin settings from the left sidebar in the file browser.

Teams
Create as many teams as you need in an organization. Define how members can find and join teams by setting their Org access; choose from open, closed, or secret teams.

Resources
Figma Organizations allow you to easily share resources within your organization. Organization admins can view and manage these resources from the Resources page.
Use the tabs to switch between Libraries, Fonts, and Plugins.
Libraries
Libraries are Figma files that contain the styles and components for a brand, project, or company. In an organization, you can choose to share libraries in a specific team or across the entire organization.
Choose default libraries
Admins can choose which libraries to make available to members of the organization. Guests will only have access to libraries you explicitly invite them to.
When you enable a library, you can:
- Access components from the Assets panel of files in the organization.
- Access styles in the Style picker for any relevant properties.
Choose default libraries from the Resource page in the organization's Admin settings:

Tip! Members of organizations also get access to design system analytics. These analytics allow you to track how members of your organization are using components in files. Learn more about design system analytics →
Note: Use a file's link sharing settings to define how members of the organization can find and interact with files. Use this approach to share non-library files with anyone in your organization. Learn more about sharing links in an Organization →
Fonts
Figma gives you access to an extensive catalog of Google Web Fonts. You can also use the desktop app or the Figma Font Helper to access local fonts alongside Figma's default fonts.
Figma organizations can upload and share custom fonts in the organization. This removes the need to share, install, or update fonts for individual users, and allows Chromebook and Linux users to access custom fonts.
Share fonts in a specific team, or across the entire organization:
- Organization admins can upload fonts and share them with the entire organization.

You can only upload fonts in .TTF and .OTF format, it's not possible to upload web fonts. Learn more about sharing fonts in an organization →
