View internal profiles

Who can use this feature

Supported on all team and organization 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 your name at the top-left of the screen.
2. Hover over your name in the account menu and click View 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.

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

Any team or organization plan

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 of which you’re both a member, or projects you’ve 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, Emma. We work in the same organization and are on some of the same teams.

• A

  Emma is a member of four teams: Growth Marketing, Product, Brand, and RCS. We're also a member of the Brand and Product teams, so we can click these teams to view them. We also have access to the Growth Marketing team as it’s available to anyone at the organization. The RCS team is visible as its access setting is set to Only those invited with a Visible setting.

• B

  We can see a list of six recent projects that Emma has contributed to. Three of these projects live in teams we have access to, so we can access those projects from Emma's profile. We can't see any projects related to the RCS team, as its access is set to Only those invited.

• C

  There are only six files in her list of recent file contributions that we have access to. There's a file in this list from the Mobile project. While we don't have access to this project or its team, we can still access this specific file as link sharing is set to Anyone at [Organization].
