Domains and domain capture in Organizations

    Before you start

    Who can use this feature

    Supported on the Figma Organization plan.

    Only Organization Admins can add and remove domains.

    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.

    Domains let Figma know who to treat as a member of the Organization, and who to treat as a guest.

    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. For example: name@gmail.com or name@notyourdomain.com

    View or update domains

    Organization Admins let Figma know which domains they have, as part of the upgrade process. You can submit requests to add and remove domains, as needed.

    Organization Admins can view domains in the Organization's Admin Settings:

    1. Open Figma in the file browser.
    2. Click Admin Settings in the sidebar.
    3. Select the Settings tab.
    4. View the current domains in the Domains section.
    5. Click Contact support to request a change to your settings.

    Domain capture

    Domain capture defines how members and guests can join the Organization. It also impacts other aspects of the Organization, including draft ownership.

    How do I tell if domain capture is on? The way you signed up for a Figma Organization will usually determine if domain capture is active:

    • Upgraded via a Figma Account Executive: domain capture is on by default.
    • Upgraded in the Figma product: domain capture is off. Reach out to the Figma support team to turn this on for your Organization.

    Add members

    Domain capture on

    Figma adds all accounts registered under a company email to the Organization. This includes both new and existing Figma accounts.

    There are many ways to add both members and guests to an Organization with domain capture:

    ACME Corp has two domains registered to their Figma Organization: acme.org and dev.acme.org.

    They have already migrated their chosen teams to their Figma Organization account. They want ensure everyone at ACME is a part of the same Figma Organization, so they turn on domain capture.

    Figma will now add anyone with a verified company email to the existing Organization. This includes anyone that:

    • Uses an email address with an acme.org or dev.acme.org domain
    • Already has a Figma account registered under their company email
    • Creates a new Figma account using their company email

    Domain capture off

    When domain capture is off, you can choose exactly who you would to invite to the Organization. This allows companies to:

    • Choose exactly who they want in the Organization
    • Have Professional teams that live outside of the Organization
    • Create more than one Organization

    Anyone with a company domain is a member, and anyone with an external domain is a guest.

    FASH Corp is a multi-national with teams in locations all around the world. They want each location to be its own Organization, so they can pay for them separately.

    The New York branch of FASH creates an Organization. They select their North American teams to migrate and register both fash.un and na.fash.un as domains.

    The Tokyo branch of FASH also creates an Organization. They select their APAC teams to migrate register both fash.un and ap.fash.un as domains.

    The Paris branch of FASH also creates an Organization. They select their European teams to migrate register both fash.un and eu.fash.un as domains.

    • Invite anyone with a fash.un email to any FASH Organization. This allows people to be members of all three Organizations.
    • Invite anyone with a na.fash.un email to the New York Organization
    • Invite anyone with a ap.fash.un email to the Tokyo Organization
    • Invite anyone with a eu.fash.un email to the Paris Organization
    • Members can create new accounts that aren't linked to the existing Organizations. This allows them to create a separate Professional team or Organization.

    Draft ownership

    Organizations usually have extra requirements or restrictions around privacy and security. One important factor protecting intellectual property and defining who owns what content.

    In an Organization, every member will have an Organization space and a Personal space. Everything in the Organization Space is the intellectual property of the Organization.

    • Organization space: teams, files, and resources that are part of the Organization.
    • Personal space: teams that aren't part of that Organization. This could be teams excluded from the upgrade, as well as external teams.

    Domain capture on

    Figma will migrate any accounts with company emails into the new Figma Organization.

    Figma moves any Files in their Drafts to the Drafts in their Organization space. These will become the property of the Organization.

    Domain capture off

    When you're added to the Organization will determine where Figma moves your drafts.

    • At initial migration: Figma will move a members' Drafts into the Organization space, making them the property of the Organization. They will remain there if they leave the Organization, or they are removed.
    • After initial migration: a member's drafts will stay in their Personal space. The Organozation does not have ownership of these files. The member will keep these files if they leave the Organization, or are removed.

    Remove members

    Everything in the Organization space is the intellectual property of the Organization.

    Regardless of the Organization's domain capture settings, Figma will do the following when you remove a member from your Organization:

    • Remove their access to the Organization space
    • Prevent them from accessing teams, files or libraries in the Organization.
    • Transfer ownership of any teams to the member with the highest permissions on that team. If they also own individual files and projects, Figma will transfer ownership to an existing Editor.
    • Move any Drafts from the Organization space to the Organization's Shared Projects.

    Files in the Shared Projects folder are locked for all other collaborators. Organization Admins will need to claim ownership of the project to unlock files and assign a new owner.

    Domain capture on

    Members or guests will no longer have access to the Figma account under their company email. This means they will also lose access to:

    • Drafts in their personal space
    • Any teams, files, and projects that were in their personal space

    Domain capture off

    Figma will detach the user's email address from the Organization. This allows them to access everything that was in their personal space.

    • Keep the existing Figma account they registered under their company email
    • Access any teams, files, and projects that were in their personal space
    • Access the Drafts in their personal space

      Before you start

      Who can use this feature

      Anyone on the Figma Organization plan

      Anyone with Admin access to the organization can manage an organization's settings.

      Figma Organization gives you greater control over what's shared within your business.

      Privacy and security by design

      Security is part of everything we do. It’s top of mind in how we work, treat customer data, and develop our product.

      • Figma has completed a SOC 2 Type II audit. SOC 2 is a security compliance standard for software companies in the United States. Its guidelines and policies help businesses, like Figma, protect customer data.
      • Figma is also certified under the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks. Privacy Shield protects the transfer of customer data between the United States and European Union (EU).

      Learn more about Figma's Privacy and Security policies.

      Intellectual property

      The organization has ownership over all the Files created within the organization. This includes files within a member's drafts, or personal space.

      When you remove a member, all their teams, files and projects will stay in the organization.

      Figma will also move files a deleted member's drafts to a shared folder in the organization. Organization admins can access these files and delete or redistribute them.

      Control link sharing

      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)

      Use link sharing settings to define who can open the file, and whether they have view or edit access. This includes members of the organization and guests outside of the organization.

      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.

      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.

      Link sharing settings in the shar modal for a file in an Organization

      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 turn link sharing off and on on the Settings tab of the organization's Admin settings. Learn more about organization admin →

      Permissions

      In a team, permissions determine how members can interact with files and projects in the team.

      In an organization, every member of an organization has a role and an account type. This controls what they can access, and how they interact with the organization.

      • Register official company domains for email addresses
      • Invite members to your organization as members or guests. Guests can only access resources you invite them to.
      • Set and update permissions at any time. Downgrade members to Viewer restricted to restrict their access.
      • Set different levels of organization access levels for teams.

      Learn more about permissions in an organization →

      Activity logs

      Activity Logs provide a record of how users are interacting with files and resources. This allows you to track what's happening within your organization:

      • See who is accessing, copying and sharing Files
      • Track changes made to teams, projects and file permissions
      • View activity for individual members
      • Track changes made by organization admins
      • Identify and prevent misuse of organization Resources

      SAML SSO

      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.

      Figma has integrations with the following providers:

      You can also set up a custom SAML configuration with a provider that isn't on this list.

      Learn more about SAML SSO →.

      Two-factor authentication

      If you don't have SAML or Google SSO enabled, members of your organization can add extra security via two-factor authentication (2FA).

      When enabled, members will need to confirm their identity every time they log in to Figma.

      Members will need to set this up individually, in their account Settings. There isn't a way to enable 2FA or make it mandatory across an entire organization.

      If you're using SAML SSO, you may be able to enable 2FA with your identity provider.

    • Guide to SAML SSO in Figma

      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. That's Figma.

      How SAML SSO works:

      1. User attempts to log in to Figma via SAML SSO.
      2. Figma creates a SAML request and sends this to the identity provider.
      3. The identity provider checks this user's credentials to confirm they are correct.
      4. The identity provider then 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:

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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

      Authentication modal with the methods available in an Organization

      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).

    • SAML SSO with Okta

    • Set up automatic provisioning via SCIM

      All SAML SSO configurations in Figma support Just In Time (JIT) provisioning. This is manual provisioning which only applies any changes when a user next logs into their account, not when the Admin makes the changes. JIT supports creating and updating users in Figma.

      You can choose to enable automatic provisioning with SCIM. SCIM pushes any changes you make to Figma, as soon as they happen. SCIM also support importing and deactivating users.

      To set up automatic provisioning you will need to an API token in Figma and a SCIM URL. This will allow you to configure automatic provisioning in your identity provider.

      Copy your details from Figma

      To make the set up process easier, we recommend having both Figma and your identity provider open at the same time.

      You can generate an API token and find your Tenant ID on the Settings page of your Organization's Admin Settings:

      1. Open Figma in the file browser and select Admin Settings in the sidebar.
      2. Select the Settings tab.

      Generate an API token

      1. In the Login and provisioning section, click SCIM Provisioning.
      2. Click Generate API Token.
      3. Copy the API Token value.

      Find your Tenant Id

      Your identity provider will need a SCIM base URL to configure SCIM. Your Tenant Id will make up part of this URL.

      1. In the Login and provisioning section, click SAML SSO.
      2. Copy the Tenant ID.
      3. Use the tenant Id to create the SCIM base URL: https://www.figma.com/scim/v2/[tenant]

      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:

      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.
