View internal profiles

Who can use this feature

Available on all plans

Every member of a team or organization has an internal profile. Internal profiles let other members of your team or organization see your contributions to shared resources.

A person’s internal profile includes:

• A person’s name and profile picture
• An optional description
• Names of any teams of which they're a member
• Names of any recent projects they have worked on
• A list of files they have contributed to recently. A contribution can include edits and comments. Figma shows a thumbnail, file name, project, and date of last activity for each file.

View your profile

View your own internal profile from your Figma account.

1. From the file browser, click next to your name in the top left to open the account menu.
2. Click the display name under your photo to view your profile.

When viewing your own profile, you can see all the files you’re working on—including files in your drafts. You’ll also see your email address under your name.

When other people view your internal profile, they can only see the teams, projects, and files they have access to. We explore what resources people can see below.

View other profiles

View a collaborator's internal profile to see which files, projects, and teams they are working on. You can access a user's profile by using the search bar in the file browser or from within a file.

Using the search bar

To view a collaborator's profile using the search bar:

1. From the file browser, click the search bar in the top left.
2. As you type a user's name, Figma looks for matches and displays your search results.
3. Click the People filter to further refine your search. Then select a user's card to view their profile.

From a file

To access a user's profile from a file:

1. From the open file, click next to your profile picture in the top right corner.
2. Click next to the user's name, the select View profile to access their profile page.

What resources can others see?

When you view someone’s internal profile, you can only view files, projects, and teams that you have access to. This can be explicit or inherited access.

Files

View any files you have access to, including:

• Files in teams or projects of which you’re a member.
• Files you’ve been explicitly invited to. This can include files in a person’s drafts, or files in a team or project you’re not a member of.
• Files with public access (Anyone with the link settings). You don’t need to be a member of a team or project to access a public file.
• In an organization, members can also see files with Anyone in organization can view/edit settings. Guests can’t see these files unless they were invited to the file.

Projects

Organization or Enterprise plans

View a list of projects you have access to:

• Projects from teams where you are a member.
• Projects someone has invited you to.
• Projects from teams that are open to anyone at your organization. Guests can’t see projects unless they’re a member of that team.
• You won't see any projects from teams set to Only those invited, unless you're also a member of the team.

If you have access to a project, you can click on the project name to view it. If the project lives in a team you’re not a member of, you won’t be able to click on the project name or view its contents. 

Professional, Education, and Starter plans

View projects in any teams that you’re a member of or have been invited to. You won’t see projects you don’t have access to.

Teams

Organization or Enterprise plans

View the team name of any teams they are a member of.

• Teams you’re both a member of
• Any team with either of the following access settings:
  • Anyone at [Organization name]
  • Only those invited, set to Visible
• Figma won’t show hidden teams, unless you’re a member of those teams.

To view a team you have access to, click on the team name. If the team name is greyed out, it means you aren’t a member of that team and can’t access its contents.

Professional, Education, and Starter plans

View teams of which you’re both a member. You can’t see any other teams that person is a member of. Click on the team name to view the team and access any files and projects.

Example

Let's explore the internal profile for a colleague of ours, Nancy. We work in the same organization and are on some of the same teams.

• A

  Nancy is a member of four teams: Brand team, RCS, Marketing team, and Product. We're also a member of the Brand team and RCS, so we can click these teams to view them. The Marketing team and Product are visible, but we cannot click to access those teams as their access settings are set to Only those invited with a Visible setting.

• B

  We can see a list of four recent projects that Nancy has contributed to. Only one of these projects lives in a team we have access to, so we can access the Website project from Nancy's profile. While other project names are visible, we can't click to view them, as their access is set to Only those invited.

• C

  There are many files listed in the File contributions section. On this list, we will only see files that we also have access to, whether we have been explicitly invited to the file or have inherited access through a shared team or project.
