      Structure Teams

      In an Organization, you have greater control over Team, File and Project structure.

      You can control how other members of the Organization can find and access Teams with Org Access.

      Every Team can have its own Projects, Files, Fonts and Shared Libraries.

      You also have the option to share Fonts and Libraries across the entire Organization.

      You can choose to map your Teams to your company's hierarchy. Or, create cross-functional Teams for company-wide efforts.

      Teams provided one layer of File structure within Figma. There are five (5) layers of structure available:

      1. Organizations
      2. Teams
      3. Projects
      4. Files
      5. Pages

      This is something to bear in mind when structuring your Teams and Projects.

    • Create closed or secret teams in an Organization

      Before you start

      Who can use this feature

      Users on Figma Organization Plan

      Only Team Admins or Owners can update Organization Access .

      In a Figma Organization, you can create as many teams as you need. Every team can have its own projects, files, fonts and shared libraries. Learn more in our Teams in an Organization article.

      Members can be a part of more than one team and can browse a list of teams on the Organization page.

      Control which teams members can discover with Org Access.

      Note: This applies to Organization Members. Guests will only be able to view teams, files and projects you have invited them.

      Organization Access

      Tip! We use the term Member below as defined in our Permissions in an Organization article.

      There are three levels of Org Access:

      Open

      Every member of an Organization will be able to search for and find an open team. Figma shows open teams on the Organization Page, and in the Teams tab in the Admin Console.

      • Members can search, view, and discover any files or projects within an open team.
      • Members can join an open team, without requiring an invitation from an existing member.
      • If you join an Open Team, Figma will give you Viewer permissions by default. An Editor or Team Admin can upgrade you to an Editor.

      Join an open team

      Closed

      Every member of an Organization will be able to search for and find a closed team. Figma shows closed teams on the Organization page, and in the teams tab.

      • Organization Members won't be able to view any files or projects within that team, unless they are part of it.
      • Members can Request to Join a closed team. A Team Admin will need to confirm your request, before we add you to the Team.
      • An Editor or Admin in that team can invite other members to the team.

      Request to join a closed team

      Secret

      Figma hides secret teams from members of the Organization who aren't in those teams. Secret teams don't appear on the Organization page, or in the Teams tab.

      • An Editor or Admin of that team will need to Invite you to a Secret Team. That will allow you to access any Files or Projects within it.

      Figma restrict invitations by your permissions:

      • Only Team Admins or Owners can grant other members Admin permissions.
      • Team Admins or Editors can invite other members to a Team as Editors.
      • Viewers can only invite other members to a Team as Viewers.

      Learn more about permissions in an Organization.
