Create a team in an organization – Figma Learn - Help Center

Who can use this feature

Available on the Organization and Enterprise plans.

Members and admins can create teams within the organization.

In a Figma organization, teams are designated spaces for projects and files.

Members can create as many teams in an organization as they need. They can also join multiple teams, making it possible to work cross-functionally and share resources.

Create a team

Unless an admin has restricted team creation, any member of an organization can create a team. Guests aren't able to create teams in the organization.

Note: If someone with a Viewer role creates a team, Figma will upgrade them to a paid Editor role.

When you create a team, you’ll need to decide how people can access the team:

Open: Everyone in your organization can browse the contents of open teams.
Closed: Members must ask for permission to join a closed team.
Secret: Secret teams are hidden from members. To join a secret team, members must be invited by an existing member.

You’ll also need to choose default permissions on the team:

New members can edit: People can create, edit and delete files when they join the team.
New members can view: People can only view files and must ask for permission to edit them.

To create a team:

From the file browser, click All teams.
Click the New team button in the top-right corner.
Enter a name for the team, set the access and permissions, and click Next.
Enter the names of people you’d like to invite to the team (optional).
Press Create team.

From the file browser, click All workspaces.
Navigate to the workspace where you'd like to create a team and click into it.
Click the New team button in the top-right corner.
Enter a name for the team, set the access and permissions, and click Next.
Enter the names of people you’d like to invite to the team (optional).
Press Create team.

Tip: Organization admins can also create new teams from Admin settings.

Open Admin settings and click the Teams tab.
At the top of the team list, click Create new team.
