• Set login and authentication method

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on the Organization and Enterprise plan

  Only organization admins can adjust the organization's log in and authentication settings.

  Organization admins can choose what method members can use to log in to the organization. These settings will apply to any member that has an email address that matches your organization's domain(s).

  You can update these settings at any time. If you want to make change to your SAML SSO configuration, you will need to temporarily update these settings to allow members to log in via any methods.

  SAML SSO only applies to members of an organization. Guests can always log in to an organization using Google SSO or their email and password.

  Available methods

  The authentication methods you can choose from in an organization are:

  • Members may log in with any method, including email and password (default)
  • Members must log in with a Google account
  • Members must log in with SAML SSO

  Any method

  When authentication is set to "Members may log in with any method (default)", members can log in using any method. This includes Google SSO, SAML SSO, or a company email and unique password.

  To allow members to log in via SAML SSO, you still need to configure SAML SSO for your organization. 

  You can also use this setting to prevent members being locked out during the configuration process. This is handy when you're setting up or updating your SAML SSO settings, or switching to another identity provider. 

  Enforce Google SSO

  If you are using Google Workspaces to manage your company email, you have two approaches available for authentication.

  • Google SSO: Use Google's traditional single sign on (SSO) process. This allows members to log in using their Google managed email address and password.
  • Google SAML SSO: If you use SAML and SCIM with Google Workspace, you can set up a custom SAML SSO configuration with Figma.

  Enforce SAML SSO for members

  Organizations with enhanced security requirements can configure SAML SSO.

  SAML SSO lets you connect your external identity provider—like Okta, Onelogin, or Azure Active Directory— to Figma. Members can then log in and authenticate using a third-party provider.

  This also allows you to pre-provision members to Figma via SCIM. If you're on the Enterprise plan, you can also set member roles via SCIM.

  Once you have configure SAML SSO, you can choose if this is optional or required:

  • Select Members must log in with SAML SSO to make logging in via SAML SSO mandatory for members.
  • Select Members may log in with any method, including email and password to make SAML SSO optional.

  When you make SAML SSO mandatory, Figma will require members to use SAML SSO when they next log in. Guests can still use their company email address and password to access Figma.

  Set authentication method

  Adjust the authentication method in the organization's admin settings.

  1. Open the organization in Figma.
  2. Select Admin settings in the sidebar.
  3. Select the Settings tab at the top of the screen.
  4. In the Login and provisioning section, click the Authentication setting.
  5. Select your desired method and click Done to apply.
• Guide to SAML SSO

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on the Organization and Enterprise plan.

  Only organization admins can configure SAML SSO.

  Single Sign On (SSO) allows users to log into many applications or websites using an identity provider. Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a security standard for managing authentication and access. 

  In a SAML SSO set up, the identity provider manages the organization's user accounts and credentials. The service provider (Figma) is the app or website that provides services to the user or organization.

  When using SAML SSO, members log in to their Figma organization using the organization's identity provider.

  How SAML SSO works:

  1. Member attempts to log in to Figma via SAML SSO
  2. Figma sends a SAML request to the identity provider
  3. The identity provider checks this member's credentials
  4. The identity provider sends a response to Figma to verify the member's identity
  5. Figma accepts the response and logs the member into their Figma account

  Note: Figma uses SAML 2.0 for all SAML SSO configurations. This includes configurations with supported identity providers and any custom configurations.

  Set up SAML SSO

  The process for configuring SAML will depend on your specific identity provider. We've outlined the general process for implementing SAML SSO below.

  SAML SSO only applies to members of a Figma organization. Guests can log in via Google SSO or their email and unique password, regardless of an organization's SAML SSO settings.

  Confirm domains

  Domains are the way we identify entities on the internet. They let Figma know who to treat as a member and who to treat as a guest. Domains and domain capture →

  Organizations can have more than one domain, including subdomains. Organization admins can request to add or remove domains to their organization at any time.

  For example: ACME Corp has three domains registered to their organization: acme.org, acmecorp.org, and dev.acme.org.

  Anyone with an acme.org, acmecorp.org, or dev.acme.org email address is a member. Members can log in via SAML SSO.

  Anyone with an email address that doesn't match those domains is a guest and can't log in via SAML. For example: name@gmail.com or name@notyourdomain.com

  Note: If you plan on using SAML SSO, you need to register every domain you want to use in Figma with your identity provider. Email aliases do not work with SAML SSO.

  Caution: To keep access to existing files and projects, members need to have an account registered to their company email. We recommend ensuring everyone is using the right emails in Figma before you set up SAML SSO.

  Add Figma to your identity provider

  When you add Figma to your identity provider, they will provide you with a Metadata URL. This is an XML link that Figma uses to connect to your identity provider and authenticate users when they login.

  Figma supports dedicated integrations with the following identity providers:

  • Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)
  • Okta
  • OneLogin
  • Google SSO*
  • Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)

  Note: You can also set up a custom SAML configuration with a provider that isn't on this list. This will involve setting up a custom app with your identity provider. Set up a custom SAML configuration →

  *If you want to use Google SAML SSO and SCIM, you need to set up a custom SAML configuration instead of using the Google SSO option. Learn more about Google SAML SSO →

  Turn on SAML SSO in Figma

  Next, you'll need to set up SAML SSO in Figma. This will:

  • Turn on SAML SSO for your organization
  • Connect your identity provider to your Figma account
  • Let you choose what methods members can use to log in

  You'll need to decide if logging in via SAML SSO is mandatory, or if users can still login via email address and password. We recommend you allow logging in via any method during the set up process.

  If you want to set up Google SSO, all users must login via Google SSO. There is no way to make this optional or enable this for only some users. Set login or authentication method →

  Set up SAML SSO in your identity provider

  Complete the rest of the set up process with your identity provider.

  • SAML SSO with Okta
  • SAML SSO with Azure Active Directory
  • SAML SSO with OneLogin
  • SAML SSO for ADFS
  • Set up a custom SAML configuration

  Note: Besides the username or nameid, Figma supports four attributes in a SAML assertion: givenName, familyName, displayName, and title. Figma will ignore any additional attributes.

  Set up SCIM provisioning (optional)

  All SAML SSO configurations support "Just In Time" (JIT) or manual provisioning. JIT provisioning allows Figma to create and update users in Figma.

  • When creating a user, Figma uses information from the four supported attributes in the SAML response from the identity provider.
  • When updating a user in the identity provider, changes will apply when the user next logs in.

  You can choose to enable automatic provisioning via SCIM. SCIM pushes changes immediately and allows you to import and deactivate users.

  • Supported identity providers: you can enable provisioning via SCIM. We include instructions for setting up automatic provisioning via SCIM in each provider's article.
  • Custom SAML configuration: you can set up SCIM with your chosen identity provider. Learn more about setting up a custom SCIM configuration →

  On the Organization plan, it's not possible to assign a person's role outside of Figma. Figma gives everyone who joins the organization an introductory viewer role. Roles in Figma →

  On the Enterprise plan, you can also set member roles via SCIM. This allows you to set a member's Figma design and FigJam roles before they join the organization. If you set a member's role via SCIM, Figma will ignore the organization's default role settings.

  Need to make changes to your SAML SSO settings? You can edit your settings at any time.

  Complete the set up process in Figma

  Now that you have everything set up in ADFS, you'll need to add your ADFS details to Figma. Our Set up a custom SAML configuration article takes you through that process.

  You'll need the following information from ADFS:

  • IdP Entity Id: This lets Figma know which Identity Provider you are using.
  • IdP SSO Target URL: Figma will use this link to connect to the Identity Provider when someone from your Organization attempts to login via SAML SSO. For ADFS, it should look something like this: https://sso.yourdomain.tld/adfs/ls/
  • Signing Certificate: This is the certificate that you have just downloaded.
• Set up a custom SAML configuration

• Set up automatic provisioning via SCIM

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on the Organization and Enterprise plans

  Only Organization Admins can set up SAML SSO.

  All SAML SSO configurations in Figma support Just In Time (JIT) provisioning. This is manual provisioning which only applies any changes when a user next logs into their account, not when the Admin makes the changes. JIT supports creating and updating users in Figma.

  You can choose to enable automatic provisioning with SCIM. SCIM pushes any changes you make to Figma, as soon as they happen. SCIM also support importing and deactivating users.

  To set up automatic provisioning you will need to an API token in Figma and a SCIM URL. This will allow you to configure automatic provisioning in your identity provider.

  Copy your details from Figma

  To make the set up process easier, we recommend having both Figma and your identity provider open at the same time.

  You can generate an API token and find your Tenant ID on the Settings page of your Organization's Admin Settings:

  1. Open Figma and select Admin Settings in the sidebar.
  2. Select the Settings tab.

  Generate an API token

  1. In the Login and provisioning section, click SCIM provisioning.
  2. Click Generate API token.
  3. Copy the API token value.

  Find your Tenant Id

  Your identity provider will need a SCIM base URL to configure SCIM. Your Tenant Id will make up part of this URL.

  1. In the Login and provisioning section, click SAML SSO.
  2. Copy the Tenant ID.
  3. Use the tenant Id to create the SCIM base URL: https://www.figma.com/scim/v2/[tenant]

  Set up SCIM with your identity provider

  The process for setting up provisioning depends on your identity provider.

  Configure SCIM

  If you're using one of our supported identity providers, you can follow our help articles:

  • SAML SSO with Okta
  • SAML SSO with Azure Active Directory
  • SAML SSO with OneLogin

  If you're using an identity provider we haven't listed here, you can still set up SCIM with Figma.

  You'll need to set up SAML SSO configuration with your identity provider, before you can configure SCIM. This may require you to set up a custom application.

  We aren't able to provide documentation for custom configurations. Please reach out to your identity provider for any assistance with a custom configuration.

  IMPORTANT

  As part of the set up process with your identity provider, you'll need to choose which provisioning functions to use. Make sure the following functions are enabled:

  • Create Users
  • Update User Attributes
  • Deactivate Users

  Assign users to the application

  When you set up automatic provisioning, you will be asked to assign users to the application.

  As part of this process, you may be asked to provide additional information about each user. Figma supports the following common basic attributes, as well as some optional extras.
