Figma supports .TTF and .OTF fonts. Webfonts are not supported.
Organizations can upload custom fonts to use across organization files. Upload fonts in a specific team, or upload them to the organization.
There's no need to share, install or update fonts for individual users. This also allows Chromebook and Linux users to access custom fonts.
You can only upload fonts in .TTF and .OTF format. It's not possible to upload or install web fonts. Access any fonts on your computer via the Figma Desktop app or Figma Font Helper.
Warning: Admins should only upload fonts they own or have a license to use in Figma. Find out more in the Content and Content rights section of Figma’s Terms of Service

Organization admins can view and manage deleted drafts from Shared projects.
When you remove a member from the organization, their drafts stay within the organization. Organization admins can view and manage these files from the Shared projects folder.
You'll need to move the folder to a team before you can access the files within it. Once you have access to the project, you can assign ownership to another team or member.
Open the organization in Figma.
Select Shared projects in the sidebar.

Only team admins can manage teams in an organization.
One of the big benefits of Figma Organizations is that you can create as many teams as you need. Every team in Figma will have its own dedicated workspace, where team members can access team projects and files.
Teams in an organization also have admins—team members with extra administration rights. They can manage members and shared resources like default libraries and custom fonts. Teams in an organization →
Organizations admins and team admins are separate privileges and aren't interchangeable. Organizations admins don't have admin access to teams, but they can perform some administrative tasks around teams.
In this article, we'll cover managing teams in an organization as a team admin and an organization admin.
Team admins
Team admins have can edit to the teams they manage. They can manage other member's permissions, shared resources like fonts and libraries, and delete the team itself.
Manage team members
View and manage members of your team in the Members tab of your team workspace.
View a member's profile picture, name and email address.
Click Invite to add a member to your team. Members and guests can invite other members or guests at or below their permission level. For example: viewers can only invite viewers, editors can invite viewers or editors.
View a team member's current team-level permissions. Click the to make changes to their access:
Select admin to make them an admin of the team, this will also give them can edit access to the team.
Select remove to revoke their access to the team. If the Org access of the team is open or closed, members can request to join the team again. To add a guest back to the team, you need to invite them again.
Note: The members tab for a team in an organization only includes collaborators who have a role on the team itself. This doesn't include anyone who has a role on an individual file or project within that team.
Manage resources
In an organization, you can share both libraries and fonts within a team. Learn how to upload and manage fonts for a team in our Manage fonts in an organization article.
To enable a library for a team in an organization:
Click on the team name in the sidebar.
Select the Setting tab at the top of the page.
Click Enable libraries to open the libraries modal and view a list of available libraries.
Use the toggles to enable or disable that library in the current file:
Library on:
Library off:
Click to close the library modal.
Update organization access
Teams in an organization have an Access within organizationsetting, which impacts how members can view and join teams. There are three access levels: open, closed, and secret.
Open: members can join open teams without requiring approval. Everyone who joins an open team gets can view permissions by default.
Closed: Members can see the name of your team in the organization or workspace. Members must request to join closed teams with either can view or can edit access. They must be approved by an admin before they can access files and projects in the team.
Secret: Secret teams are hidden from members. To join a secret team, members must be invited by an existing member.
Team admins can update a team's organization access setting:
Open the organization in Figma.
Select the team you want to update.
Select the Settings tab.
You'll see the current Access within organization and a description of the setting. Select the arrow to open the menu:
Choose another access level for that team.
Delete a team
Caution: When you delete a team in an organization, Figma will delete the team, as well as all files and projects in that team. This applies for all collaborators, not only you.
The owner of a team, or a team admin can restore the deleted team. They will have 28 days to restore the team before Figma will permanently delete any files and projects.
Click the next to the team name in the toolbar. Select Delete team from the options.
Enter the name of the team in the field provided and click Confirm delete.
Figma will delete the team and any files or projects.
Note: If there are no longer any team admins or owner, an organization admin can join the team as an owner ↓. This allows them to promote another member to admin, or move files and projects to another team.
Workspace admins
Workspace admins can claim unassigned teams, move teams between workspaces they're an admin of, and unassign teams from their workspaces. They can do this in bulk or with individual teams.
Workspace admins won't have admin access to every team in their workspaces. They can only perform administrative actions for teams if they're an admin of that team.
Assign teams to workspaces
Workspace admins can:
Assign unassigned teams to a workspace they're an admin of.

Organization admins
Organization admins don't have admin access to every team in the organization. They can only perform administrative actions for teams if they're an admin of that team.
They need to join a team to access and browse projects and files within a team. Like other members, admins can join any open team, but must request to join closed teams.
Secret teams require an invitation from a team member, even for admins. However, organization admins can view activity logs relating to secret teams.
If an open or closed team has no owner, an organization admin can claim ownership of the team. Organization admins can't claim ownership of secret teams, unless there are no remaining team members.
View teams in the organization
Like all members of the organization, admins can view a list of open and closed teams from the organization page. They can also view a list of teams in the organization's Admin settings. This allows them to perform bulk actions or reassign ownership of teams without owners.

In an organization, you can publish libraries to a team in the organization, or share them with the entire organization. This makes styles and components available in all organization files.
To make a library available to the organization, organization admins can check the box to Allow any member of organization to access this file when publishing their library.
This updates the link sharing settings of that file and allows members to access styles and components from the library. Guests can only access libraries you invite them to. Add and remove libraries →

If the file isn't shared with everyone in the organization, Figma will prompt you to share the file. Select Change privacy and enable to allow members to access the library.
Repeat for any other libraries. Figma will make all of those libraries available in any files in the organization workspace, including member's drafts.
To remove a library, click next to the current setting and select Off.
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 →

Only the owner or a team admin can claim ownership of a project.

This applies to:
Projects shared with the entire Team without an Owner
Private projects without an Owner
View-only projects without an Owner
Claim ownership of a Project
Note: If the Team also has no owner, an organization admin or workspace admin can claim ownership of the Team. This allows them to manage aspects of the Team, including the ownership of abandoned Projects.
