Add members or guests to an organization
Who can use this feature
Supported on the Organization and Enterprise plans
There are a few ways to add members and guests to an organization:
- Domain capture: all Figma accounts with company emails are added to the organization
- Invite members or guests to teams, projects, or files
- Add members to the organization
- Add members to your identity provider (SAML SSO)
Some methods are only available to members of the organization and not guests.

Members have an email address that matches any of the organization's domains. Members can access shared resources in the organization, including teams, fonts, libraries, and plugins.
Guests are external users with an email address outside the organization. They can be contractors, agencies, clients, or external collaborators with external email addresses. Guests can only access the resources you explicitly invite them to.
Domain capture
Domain capture makes sure anyone with a Figma account and a company email is included in the organization. This applies to anyone with any existing Figma account, as well as anyone who creates a new Figma account using their company email.
When domain capture is on, you can still invite members to teams, projects, or files in the organization. Members can join the organization by accepting the invitation. If they don't have an account, Figma will make sure any account they create is part of the organization.
Invite to teams, projects, or files
Invite a member or guest to a file, project, or team to add them to your organization. Any member or guest can invite someone to a resource at or below their permission level.
For example: someone with view access can only invite others with view access. Someone with edit access can invite someone with view or edit access.
Note: Anyone you invite with can edit access is included in the organization's billing. Learn more about adding editors in a quarterly true-up →
Add to the organization
Organization and workspace admins can also invite members to the organization from the Members tab. You can't invite guests using this method, but you can invite them to specific teams, projects, or files.
Figma will give everyone you invite via this process a provisional viewer role. You can update their access to viewer restricted or editor once Figma shows them in the Members tab.
- Select Admin settings in the sidebar.
- Select the Members tab.
- Click Invite member to open the invite modal.
- Enter the member's company email address and click Send Invite.
- Figma will send an email to the member's email address. Click the link in the email to join the organization.
Add to identity provider (SAML SSO)
If you have configured SAML SSO in your organization, you can add members to your identity provider. When added to your identity provider, Figma will create a provisional account for them.
