• Permissions in an Organization

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  These permissions apply to anyone on the Figma Organization plan.

  Organization Admins can manage member roles and types.

  Team permissions define how members can interact with files and projects within a specific team.

  Anyone that interacts with the Organization has both an account type and a role at the Organization level.

  Account types define what resources in the Organization a member has access to. There are three types of accounts: Member, Admin and Guest.

  Roles define a member's permissions and whether they are included in your Organization's billing. There are three roles in an Organization: Viewer, Viewer Restricted, and Editor.

  Members can join multiple teams in the Organization, and at different permission levels. Unlike Professional teams, which are billed individually, Figma bills Organizations as a whole. This makes sure Organizations only pay for each Editor once.

  Account types

  Account type determines what resources a member of an Organization has access to. There are three types of accounts: Members, Admins, and Guests.

  A Member, Guest, or Admin can have any role in the Organization: Viewer, Viewer Restricted, or Editor. If you add any account type as an Editor, Figma will include them in the Organization's billing.

  Member

  Members are users with a company email that you have invited or added to your Organization. For example: name@organization.com.

  Members can

  ✅ View a list of all teams within the Organization
  ✅ Join or request to join any team within the Organization
  ✅ Create new teams within the Organization
  ✅ Access Secret teams of which they are a member
  ✅ View a list of all members of the Organization - this includes Members and Guests
  ✅ Find and use any libraries shared across the Organization. Including teams they aren't a member of.
  ✅ Find and use font shared across the Organization
  ✅ Invite other Organization Members to teams, files and projects within the Organization

  Organization Admin

  Organization Admins are Members that have extra administrative rights within the Organization. They can manage administrative aspects of the Organization itself.

  You can add an Organization Admin with any role, including Viewer Restricted.

  Note: Organization Admins are different to team Admins. Team Admins have administrative rights within a specific team. Teams within an Organization still use Viewer, Editor, and Admin permissions to define how collaborators can interact with each team.

  Admins can

  ✅ Do everything Members can
  ✅ Access the entire Admin Console
  ✅ Change the Organization's Logo
  ✅ Change the role and account type of any Organization members
  ✅ Request a list of all members in the Organization
  ✅ Upload font to the Organization
  ✅ View and explore detailed Activity Logs. These record events and actions taken within the Organization
  ✅ View a detailed billing history
  ✅ View and manage an Organization's Quarterly True Up
  ✅ Make payments against an Organization's invoices
  ✅ Enable default libraries in the Assets Panel ( Editors only)

  There are some things that Admins can't do within an Organization.

  Admins can't

  🚫 Access every team within your Organization. Admins will need to join a team to be able to access any projects, files and shared resources within it.
  🚫 View Secret teams in the Organization (unless that team no longer has an owner or admins)
  🚫 Perform Administrative functions on a team (unless they are an Admin of that team)
  🚫 Enable default libraries in the Assets Panel (Viewers only)

  Guest

  Guests are users that you have invited to specific resources within an Organization. This could be a specific team, file or project.

  Guests are collaborators that don't have email addresses that match any registered domains in an Organization. These could be external contractors, clients or other collaborators.

  You can invite a guest to a resource as a Viewer, Viewer Restricted, or Editor. If you invite a Guest as an Editor, Figma will include them in the Organization's billing.

  Guests can

  ✅ Have an email address that isn't registered to the Organization's domain
  ✅ Access teams, projects or files you have invited them to
  ✅ Be added to a team, file or project within an Organization
  ✅ Invite other collaborators to teams, files and projects they have access to. They can invite users at or below their access level.

  Guests can't

  🚫 View a list of all teams within the Organization.
  🚫 Join or Request to Join any teams within the Organization
  🚫 Find or use any libraries shared across the Organization (unless invited)
  🚫 Find or use any fonts shared across the Organization

  Note: To allow Guests to use Components from a shared library, they will need to have at least view access to the library file.

  Roles

  Roles define a member's permissions and whether they are included in your Organization's billing. There are three roles in an Organization: Viewer, Viewer [Restricted], and Editor.

  Organization Admins can view member's roles in the Members tab of the Admin Console. Members can view their own role from the Settings tab of their Figma account.

  Note: If you are using SAML SSO in your Organization, Organization Admins may also see a Provisional role. Figma shows this role when you have added someone to your SAML SSO provider, but they have not logged into Figma using SAML SSO yet.

  Viewer

  When you first add a new member to your Organization, Figma will assign them the Viewer role. Figma doesn't include Viewer members in an Organization's billing.

  Viewer is a provisional role. To remove barriers to collaboration, there are no restrictions on Viewers. Organization Admins can upgrade Viewers to Editors in the Admin console. Viewers can also upgrade themselves when they perform any of the upgrade actions.

  It's not possible to change a member's role back to Viewer. To restrict their access, you can change the member's role to Viewer Restricted.

  Viewers can

  ✅ View any projects and files in teams of which they are a member
  ✅ View a library or font shared across the Organization
  ✅ Comment on any files or Prototypes
  ✅ Create and edit files within their Drafts
  ✅ Use styles and components shared in the Organization in their Drafts
  ✅ Use any font shared across the Organization in their Drafts

  Viewers can't

  🚫 Edit files or projects in any teams of which they are a member.
  🚫 Use styles and components from shared libraries in team files.
  🚫 Use font shared across the Organization in team files.
  🚫 Edit shared libraries within the Organization.
  🚫 Enable libraries within a team or across the Organization.

  If a Viewer attempts any of the following actions, Figma will upgrade them to an Editor in the Organization.

  • Share a file from their Drafts with a member of the Organization.
  • Create new teams within the Organization.
  • Create libraries and share them with the Organization.
  • Click the Edit file button when opening a link to an Organization file.

  What’s the difference between Viewer and Viewer Restricted?

  Viewers are provisional users. When you add new members and guests to your Organization, Figma will give them a Viewer role. Viewers can upgrade to a paid Editor role by performing one of the actions listed above. Organization Admins can also upgrade Viewers to Editors.

  Viewer Restricted users have had their access restricted by an Organization Admin, so they aren't able to upgrade themselves to a paid Editor role. Viewer Restricted users will need to request an upgrade from an Organization Admin.

  Viewer Restricted

  Members with a Viewer Restricted role can perform limited actions within an Organization. We don't include Viewer Restricted members in an Organization's billing.

  A Member can request an upgrade from their Account Settings by clicking the Request Upgrade link next to their current role. This will send a notification to all Organization Admins, who can then approve or reject the Member's request.

  Viewer Restricted can

  ✅ View any projects and files in teams they are a part of.
  ✅ View a library or font shared across the Organization.
  ✅ Comment on any files or Prototypes shared across the Organization.
  ✅ Create and edit files within their Drafts.
  ✅ Use Styles and Components from shared libraries in their Drafts
  ✅ Use any font shared across the Organization in their Drafts

  Viewer Restricted can't

  🚫 Edit files or projects in any teams they are a part of.
  🚫 Use Styles and Components from shared libraries in team files.
  🚫 Edit any shared libraries within the Organization.
  🚫 Use font shared across the Organization, in any team files.
  🚫 Share files from their Drafts with other members in the Organization.
  🚫 Create new teams within the Organization
  🚫 Enable libraries within a team or across the Organization.
  🚫 Create libraries and share them with the Organization.

  Editor

  Editors are Organization members that have can edit access to at least one team, project or file. This doesn't includes files from their own drafts, but does include files within other member's Drafts.

  Figma includes anyone with an Editor role, including Admins and Guests, in your Organization's billing.

  Editors can

  ✅ View any projects and files in teams of which they are a member.
  ✅ View a library or font shared across the Organization.
  ✅ Comment on any files or Prototypes shared across the Organization.
  ✅ Create and edit files within their Drafts.
  ✅ Use Styles and Components from shared libraries in their Drafts
  ✅ Use any font shared across the Organization in their Drafts
  ✅ Edit files and projects in any teams they are an Editor on
  ✅ Edit files or projects they have can edit access to
  ✅ Use Styles and Components from shared libraries in any files
  ✅ Use font shared across the Organization in any files
  ✅ Share files from Drafts with other members in the Organization

• Teams in an organization

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on Figma Organization plan.

  Any member of an Organization can create a team. Only team admins can manage a team in an organization.

  Create as many teams as you need within an organization. Map teams to your company's hierarchy, or create cross-functional teams for company-wide projects.

  In an organization, you can share both libraries and custom fonts within a team.

  1. Enable libraries for the team
  2. View or manage any shared fonts

  Learn more about sharing resources in an organization →

  Organization access

  Control how other members of the Organization can find and access teams with Organization Access. There are three levels of Organization Access:

  Open

  Every member of an Organization will be able to search for and find an open team. Organization members can view teams by clicking Organization in the sidebar.

  • 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.
  • Members who join open teams will have Viewer permissions by default.

  Note: An Editor or Team Admin can upgrade other members to Editors. Upgrading members or guests to Editors will include them in the Organization's billing. Learn more about upgrades in an Organization →

  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 can't view any files or projects within that team, unless they are part of it.
  • Members can Request to Join a closed team at their desired access level. A Team Admin will need to confirm your request, before they can join the team.
  • Team Admins, Editors and Viewers can invite other members to the team. Members can only invite collaborators at their permission level or lower. 

  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.

  • You can only get access to a secret team by creating it, or being invited to it.
  • Only Editors or Admins of that team can invite members or guests to a team. This will allow them to access any files or projects in that team.

  Note: Organization admins can only access secret teams of which they're a member. Organization Admins can see activity related to secret teams, including team members and file names, in the organization's activity logs.

  Manage team members

  Team permissions in an organization are the same as team permissions in a Professional, Education, or Starter team.

  • Invite a viewer or editor to a team
  • Upgrade or downgrade team member permissions
  • Set a team name, icon, and description
  • Remove a member from a team
  • Leave a team
  • Change the owner of a team

  Note: Anyone with an email address that matches an organization domain is a member. Anyone without an email that doesn't match the organization's domain(s) is a guest.

• Share links to files in an Organization

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Anyone on the Figma Organization plan can share files inside and outside the Organization with link sharing.

  When you open a file link in an Organization, you won't get a role on that file.

  Every file and prototype in Figma has a unique URL. For example: http://www.figma.com/file/ABCDEFGHIJKL/file-name

  You can use this link to share designs and prototypes with members of your Organization. This includes Organization members who aren't invited to that specific file or team.

  In this article, we'll show you a file's link sharing settings, and how to control who can view and edit files.

  You can also share files with members and guests by inviting them to the file or team. Learn more about sharing in an Organization →

  Sharing links

  Use link sharing settings to define who can open the file, and whether they have view or edit access.

  You can update the link sharing settings for each file. The default settings are Anyone at Organization with link and can view.

  Discover files

  Choose how members of your Organization can share and access files via links. Guests of an Organization can only access files and teams to which they have been invited.

  • Choose Anyone with the link to allow people inside and outside the Organization to access the file. This includes both members of the Organization and Guests who have the link.
  • Choose Anyone at Organization with the link: Organization members will need to have a link to the file to access it. When they open the link, they can view the file.
  • Choose Anyone at Organization to allow anyone in the Organization to access the file. Use this setting for library files you want to share with the whole Organization. Guests of the Organization won't be able to access these files unless you invite them to the file or team.
  • Choose Only people invited to this file if you only want team members or people you explicitly invite to the file to access it.

  It's possible to disable public link sharing in an Organization. This prevents anyone outside the Organization from accessing files via the file link.

  Organization Admins can contact the Figma Support team to turn off this functionality. This will remove the Anyone with the link option from the link sharing options.

  Interact with files

  Choose what level of access other members of the Organization have, once they open the file.

  This setting applies to anyone who opens the file, unless they're a member of the team or have an explicit role on the file.

  • Choose can edit to give anyone who opens the file the option to edit.
  • Choose can view to allow people to view the file without being able to make any edits.
  • Choose can view prototypes only to only allow them to access the prototype, and not the designs in the file itself.

  Discovery	can edit	can view	can view prototypes only
  Anyone with the link	🚫	✅	✅
  Anyone at Organization with link	✅	✅	✅
  Anyone at Organization	✅	✅	✅
  Only people invited to this file	🚫	🚫	🚫

   

  Update link sharing

  File URLs stay the same regardless of their location or link sharing settings. It's not possible to set temporary links, custom URLs, or passwords for files or prototypes.

  We recommend updating link sharing settings before you share your file with others. Adjust the link sharing settings for each file from the share modal.

  1. Click the Share button in the file.
  2. Click the next to the link sharing setting to choose how people can find and access the file.
  3. Click the to set the permissions for sharing links.
  4. Click the next to Anyone else with a prototype link to set a permission for any prototypes in the file..
  5. Check the box if you want the URL or embed code to Link to selected Frame (optional).
  6. Click Copy Link to copy the file URL to your clipboard. If you're using Figma in the browser, you can also copy the file link in the address bar.

  

  Tip! Click and then toggle Allow Viewers to copy, share, and export from this file off and on. Learn more about restricting who can copy and share files →

  Interact with file links

  When members of an Organization open file links, Figma will give them can view access by default. This prevents members from being accidentally upgraded when they view a file.

  View files

  There are only some actions you can perform with can view access:

  • Click the Hand tool to pan around the canvas
  • Click the Move tool to select layers in the canvas or layers panel
  • Click the to add comments
  • Measure distances between layers and objects
  • View layer properties in the Code panel
  • Copy the contents of any text layers
  • Copy frames, Components, objects or layers within files.*
  • Export frames and layers as assets*

  Learn more about what Viewers can and can't do →

  

  Note: Actions with an asterisk* are only supported if the Allow Viewers to copy, share, and export from this file setting is on.

  Edit files

  If the link sharing settings are set to can edit, members will have the option to edit the file. This will allow them to:

  • Access every tool in the toolbar to move, scale, or edit any layers.
  • Create, edit, and view interactive prototypes.
  • View a file's available version history.

  Learn more about what Editors can and can't do →

  

  Note: If the member isn't an existing Editor, this action will upgrade their role in the Organization to an Editor. Figma will include any extra Editor seats in the Organization's next true-up. Learn more about managing new Editors in our quarterly true-ups article.

  1. Click the Edit file button in the toolbar. If you hover over this button, Figma will display the link sharing permissions for the file.
  2. Figma will upgrade you to an Editor in the Organization and allow you to edit the file. This won't give you a role on the file, or affect your permissions on other files or teams.

  

• Share resources in an Organization

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on the Figma Organization plan.

  Any Organization member can access resources shared across the entire Organization. Guests of the Organization can only access resources you invite them to.

  A Figma Organization goes beyond the team setup you may be used to in a Professional or Starter team. Instead of a single workspace for a team, you have a dedicated Organization space.

  Everything in the Organization space is owned by the Organization. This includes files from every team in the Organization, as well as files in individual's Drafts.

  Members will have a personal space alongside the Organization space. You'll find any teams here which are linked to your company email, but aren't included in the Organization.

  You can create unlimited teams in an Organization. Any team you create will have access to all the features of a Professional team, plus some extras.

  In this article, we'll cover sharing files, libraries, fonts, and plugin in an Organization.

  Note: Everyone in an Organization has both an account type and a role. This controls what resources they can access, how they can interact with those resources.

  Figma includes anyone with an Editor role in the Organization's billing. Learn more about members in an Organization →

  Files

  Sharing files in an Organization is different than sharing files from a Starter, Education or Professional team.

  There are a few ways members can get access to files in an Organization:

  • A member invites them to the file
  • They are a member of the team or project
  • They open a link to a Figma file (link sharing)

  Caution: If you invite someone as an Editor, who doesn't already have an Editor role in the Organization, they will be upgraded. Figma will include them in the Organization's billing.

  Note: If you invite someone who's email address doesn't match any of the Organization's domains, they will be a guest of the Organization. Guests can only access the files, projects, and teams to which you invite them.

  Invite collaborators to files

  Invite a collaborator to a file in your Organization to give them a role on the file. You can view everyone who has a role on the file in the share modal.

  1. Click the Share button from the toolbar in the file.
  2. Enter the member's email in the Invite someone.. field.
  3. Choose what permission to give them
     • Can edit: Invite them to the file as an Editor. This requires a paid seat in an Organization.
     • Can view: Invite them to the file as a Viewer.
  4. Click Send invite to confirm. They will need to accept the invite to edit the file.

  Invite members to teams

  When you are a member of a team, you can access to any files and projects within a team. View the team's access from the file's share modal:

  Figma won't give members an explicit role on a file, unless someone invites them to the file. Learn how to invite members to teams →

  Share links to files

  Every file and prototype in Figma has a unique URL. For example: http://www.figma.com/file/ABCDEFGHIJKL/file-name

  You can use this link to share designs and prototypes with members of your Organization. This includes Organization members who aren't invited to that specific file or team

  Use link sharing settings to define who can open the file, and whether they have view or edit access. The default settings are Anyone at Organization with link and can view. Learn more about link sharing settings in an Organization →

  Note: In an Organization, if a user views a file without being explicitly invited to it, they won't have a persistent role on that file. The same applies to members who have access to the file by being a member of the team or project.

  This means that members and roles in the share modal don't reflect everyone who has seen or interacted with a file.

  Libraries

  Styles and Components live in the files you created them in. To access and reuse these in other files, you can publish them to a library. This allows you to maintain a consistent brand and style, at scale.

  In an Organization, you can publish files to a team in the Organization, or to the entire Organization. This allows members of the Organization to access them. Guests can only access libraries you invite them to.

  • Choose which libraries you want to publish
  • Organization Admins can choose default libraries for files in the Organization
  • Remove libraries to hide them from Organization members

  Learn how to share libraries in an Organization →

  Tip! Track how members of your Organization are using libraries and components with design system analytics. Learn more about library analytics →

  Fonts

  Figma gives you access to an extensive catalog of Google Web Fonts. If you would like to use extra fonts in your Figma designs, you can use local fonts on your computer.

  • If you're using the Figma Desktop app, any local fonts will already be available to you. You can find these alongside the Google Web Fonts in the font picker.
  • If you're using Figma in the browser, you will need to install the Figma Font Helper application. This allows you to access any local fonts in the browser.

  Figma Organizations can also upload and share custom fonts in the Organization. This allows members to share fonts in a specific team, or across the entire Organization.

  • Organization Admins can upload fonts to the entire Organization.
  • Team Admins can upload fonts to a specific team.

  Learn more about uploading fonts to an Organization →

  Plugins

  In an Organization, you have both an Organization and Personal space. Figma links any plugins you install to your entire account.

  Organization members can access both public and private plugins in an Organization. This allows other members of the Organization to use internal plugins, as well as access plugins from the Figma Community.

  • Browse and install plugins for your entire account. Any plugins you install will be available in both your Organization and personal spaces. Learn how to find and install plugins →
  • If the Approve list is enabled, you can only use public plugins on this list within the Organization space. Learn about the plugin approve list →
  • Use any public or private Organization plugins in your personal space. Learn about personal and Organization spaces →
  • View and manage your plugins under your Account > Plugins. Learn how to manage your plugins →

  

  View Organization plugins

  To find and install plugins that are private to your Organization:

  1. Open Figma in the File browser.
  2. Click on the Organization name in the sidebar.
  3. Select the Plugins header at the top of the page.
  4. Browse through any plugins that are private to your Organization.
  5. Click the ↓ Install button to add the plugin to your account.

  

  Make plugins

  If you are a member of an Organization you can choose to publish plugins privately or publicly. When you publish your plugin, you can choose to share the plugin privately or publicly.

  Private plugins are only available to members of the Organization, while public plugins are available for everyone.

  Private

  Organizations will often have their own systems and tools they have developed. They can include private information or data that members can't share outside the Organization.

  Any member of an Organization can make and share a private plugin.

  To publish plugins privately:

  • Set the Publish to setting to Organization name to create a private plugin.

  

  Note: When a member shares a plugin with the Organization, Figma lists that member as the plugin's Publisher. Figma will only attribute the plugin to the Organization if or when it's published to the Community.

  Public

  Community profiles showcase files and plugins shared with the Figma Community. Figma supports Community profiles for creators, teams, and Organizations.

  If you are an Admin of a team or an Organization Admin, you will be able to publish plugins to those profiles, as well as your own.

  To publish plugins publicly:

  • Set the Publish to setting to Community to create a public plugin.
  • Set the Author to Organization name to publish to the plugin to the Organization's profile.

  

  Only Organization Admins can publish plugins to the Organization's Community profile. This will allow anyone in the wider Figma Community to find and use those plugins.

  If you have a Figma account under a company email, your Organization will have ownership over the contents of your Figma account. If you want to retain ownership of the plugin, we recommend creating a profile under a personal Figma account.

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on the Figma Organization plan

  Figma Organizations go beyond the team setup you may be used to in a Professional team. Instead of a single workspace for a team, you have a dedicated "Organization space".

  Everything in the Organization space is owned by the organization. This includes files from individual's Drafts and every team within the organization.

  We recommend reading through our Welcome to your Figma Organization guide to get started.

  Members and guests

  There are two levels of permissions in a Figma Organization, team permissions and organization permissions.

  Team permissions work the same way as they do in a Starter, Education, or Professional team.You'll likely be a member of multiple teams in the organization, you can have different permissions on each team.

  Everyone who interacts with an organization will also have an account type and a role.

  A person's account type defines how much of the organization they can access. A person's role defines If they can get edit access to teams, projects, or files. It also determines if they're included in the organization's billing

  Teams

  You can create as many teams as you need within an organization. Choose to map teams to your company's hierarchy, or create cross-functional teams for company-wide projects.

  Control how other members of the organization can find and access teams with Organization Access. There are three levels of organization access: open, closed, and secret.

  Teams in organizations also have access to extra features, like Design System Analytics, which allows you to track component usage across teams in your organization.
