Set up a custom SAML configuration
Before you start
Who can use this feature
Supported on the Organization and Enterprise plans
Only Organization Admins can set up SAML SSO.
You must use SAML 2.0 to set up SAML SSO with Figma.
Organizations that have stricter security requirements can configure SAML SSO. Learn more about SAML SSO in Figma →
If you do not use one of our supported identity providers, you can set up a custom SAML configuration. You must use SAML 2.0, Figma doesn't support earlier versions of SAML.
Note: you will need the following information from your identity provider to set up SAML SSO in Figma:
- IdP Entity Id: This lets us know which Identity Provider you are using.
- IdP SSO Target URL: We will use this link to connect to the Identity Provider when someone from your Organization attempts to login via SAML SSO.
- Signing Certificate: Usually called the X509 certificate. We use this to verify your Organization via your Identity Provider.
