• Guide to SAML SSO in Figma

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on theFigma Organization plan.

  Only organization admins can configure SAML SSO.

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

  Organizations that need enhanced security requirements can configure SAML SSO.

  Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a security standard for logging into applications. Single Sign On (SSO) allows users to log into many applications or websites via one set of login details.

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

  SAML SSO only applies to members of an organization. Guests can't log in via SAML SSO, but can log in via Google SSO or their email and unique password.

  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 user's credentials.
  4. The identity provider sends a response to Figma to verify the user's identity.
  5. Figma accepts the response and logs the user into their Figma account.

  Note: Figma uses SAML 2.0 for all SAML SSO configurations. This includes configurations with any of our supported identity providers, as well as 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 in your Organization below.

  Confirm your company domain(s)

  Domains are the way we identify entities on the internet. We can view domains in a website's URL www.figma.com or email address support@figma.com.

  Organization Admins will define what domains are associated with their business as part of the set up process. Organizations can have more than one domain, including subdomains. Learn more about domains and domain capture →

  Domains let Figma know who to treat as a member of the Organization, and who to treat as a guest. Only members of the organization can log in using SAML SSO.

  Tip! Guests can login using Google SSO, or their email address and a unique password. Learn how to log in to Figma →

  For example: ACME Corp has three domains registered to their Figma 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.
  • 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 will need to register each domain you want to use in Figma with your identity provider. Email aliases do not work with SAML SSO.

  Caution: For a member to access their existing files and projects in the Organization, they will need to be using their correct company email to join the Organization. We recommend making sure everyone is using their company email in Figma before you set up SAML SSO.

  Add Figma app to your identity provider

  This usually involves adding an app to your identity provider. Your identity provider will provide you with a Metadata URL during this process.

  This is an XML link that Figma will use to connect 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 (AD FS)

  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. Learn more about custom SAML configurations →

  *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 does the following:

  • Turns on SAML SSO in your Organization
  • Connects your identity provider to your Figma account
  • Lets you decide if how members can login

  Figma will provide you with a Tenant ID as part of this process, which you'll need to complete the configuration process with your provider.

  You also need to decide if logging in via SAML SSO is mandatory, or if users can still login via email address and password. This only applies to members, guests can login via Google SSO or email and unique password.

  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. Learn more about authentication options →

  Set up SAML SSO in your identity provider

  Complete the rest of the set up process with your identity provider. The articles below cover this process in detail.

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

  For supported providers, you'll only need your Tenant ID. For custom configurations, you'll need both the SP Entity ID and SP ACS URL.

  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.

  JIT only applies any changes to a user's profile when they next log into their account, not when the Admin first makes the changes.

  You can choose to enable automatic provisioning via SCIM. SCIM pushes any changes you make to Figma, as soon as they happen.

  SCIM gives you greater control as it allows you to also 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 →

  Users can now access Figma using their company email address and password. If they have already been using Figma, they can log in to their account. If they are new to Figma, they can create a new account.

  When you provision a user with your identity provider, Figma will add them to your Organization as a Viewer. This is a provisional Role, which means there are no restrictions around upgrading.

  It's not possible to define a user's permissions via your identity provider. You can only manage a user's permissions in Figma. Learn more about managing members →

  Edit a SAML configuration

  Organization Admins can make changes to the SAML SSO settings at any time. This is perfect when you need to fix errors, update an expired certificate, or switch to another provider.

  You will need to update your Authentication settings to Members may log in with any method, including email and password to edit your configuration. This allows members to log in with email address and password, while you make any changes.

  1. Open Figma in the file browser.
  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 Members may log in with any method, including email and password.
  6. Click Done to return to the screen.
  7. Click on the SAML SSO option to adjust your settings.

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

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

  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).update the

  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.

  Adjust authentication method

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

  1. Open Figma in the file browser.
  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.

  

  The authenticated 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

  

  Note: These settings only apply to members of your organization. Guests can still log in to Figma with an email address and password, even if SAML SSO or Google SSO is mandatory in your organization.

  Make SAML SSO mandatory

  Organizations with enhanced security requirements can configure SAML SSO.

  SAML SSO lets you connect your external identity provider to Figma, like Okta or Azure AD. Members of the organization can then log in to Figma using their company email.

  You can choose whether users must log in via SAML SSO, or if they can login with another authentication method.

  • 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.

  Make Google SSO mandatory

  If you are using G Suite to manage your company email, then you have two approaches available for authentication.

  Google SSO

  You can enable Google SSO in your Figma Organization. Members must use the Log in with Google option to log in using their Google-managed company email and password.

  • Select Members must sign in with a Google Account to make Google SSO mandatory.
  • Select Members may log in with any method, including email and password to make Google SSO optional.

  Note: You can disable this requirement at any time, if required. Return to this page and select Members may sign in with any available method, including email and password instead. You will need to update your authentication method to this setting, if you want make changes to your SAML SSO or SCIM settings.

  Google SAML SSO

  Google also supports both SAML SSO and SCIM configurations. If you want to use Google SAML SSO and SCIM with Figma, you will need to:

  1. Set up a custom app for Figma in GSuite (Opens Google Support article)
  2. Decide if you want to make SAML SSO mandatory
  3. Set up a custom SAML configuration in Figma

  Note: We've heard that there can be delays when setting up a custom SAML SSO app with Google. If you see a "Not a SAML app" error, or similar, we recommend trying again in a few hours. Google has some recommendations for common errors: Troubleshoot single sign-on (SSO).

  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.

  Note: It's not possible to assign permissions in Figma via your identity provider. Figma will add provisioned users to your Organization as Viewers.

  This is a provisional role, which means there are no restrictions around upgrading. Learn more about Members in an Organization.

  Display SCIM member metadata

  When you have SCIM set up, you can choose which of these attributes you want to access in Figma. That attribute will be shown in the Members tab alongside Figma's default data.

  1. Open Admin settings > Settings
  2. In the Other section, click Member metadata.
  3. Choose from Cost center, organization, division, or department.
  4. Figma will show this data in the Members tab. You'll be able to sort your member list based on this column.
