  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

  • Permissions in an organization
  • Request upgrades in an organization
  • Permissions in teams
  • See what collaborators are working on

  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.

  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:

  • Domain capture: Figma adds anyone who creates an account with their company email to the organization
  • Invite members or guests to a team in the organization
  • Invite guests to a specific file or project in the organization
  • SAML SSO: Add members to your identity provider

  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.

  • Invite a collaborator to a file
  • Invite a Viewer or Editor to a team
  • Add a member to your organization

  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 organization 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

  • Share both private and public plugins within your organization.
  • Approve plugins that members can use within the organization space.
  • Install or uninstall plugins for everyone in the organization.

  Private and public plugins

  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.

  Figma supports private plugins in an organization. This allows other members of the organization to use these plugins, without having to share them with the rest of the Figma Community.

  • Any member of an organization can make and share a private plugin.
  • Only Team admins can share publish plugins to a team's public profile.
  • Only organization admins can share publish plugins to a organization's public profile.

  Note: An organization admin can change a plugin's access, at any time. This allows you to update a public plugin so that it's only shared with the organization, or share a popular private plugin with the wider Figma Community.

  To update plugin access you can publish an update to the plugin. Update the Publish to setting to change who can access the plugin. If you're changing a plugin from private to public, it will need to go through our review process.

  Note: You can have any combination of account type and role in an organization, like an admin with a viewer-restricted role, or a guest with an editor role. Learn more about roles and account types →

  Upgrade member or guest roles

  Organization admins can make changes to a person's role at any time in the organization's admin settings.

  • Viewers can perform some actions within the organization. They can upgrade themselves to a paid editor role by performing an upgrade action.
  • Viewer-restricted members and guest can only be upgraded to a paid editor role by an organization admin. Figma will prompt a viewer-restricted member or guest to request an upgrade → if they attempt an upgrade action.

  There are a few ways a member or guest's role can be assigned or upgraded:

  • A

    Existing permissions

    When you upgrade existing teams to the Figma Organization plan, Figma will assign roles based on existing permissions.

    • Members or guests with can edit permissions on a team (or file) will get an editor role in the organization.
    • Members or guests with can view permissions on a team (or file) will get a viewer role in the organization.
  • B

    When invited or added to the organization

    When you add people to your organization via domain capture or manual invitation, Figma will give them a provisional viewer role. Organization admins can update a member's role after you add them to the organization.

  • C

    Provision users with SAML and SCIM

    If you use SAML SSO with Figma, you can provision member roles and cost centers using SCIM.

  • D

    Share files from drafts

    Viewers can upgrade to paid editor roles by sharing a file from their drafts with a member or guest of the organization. The file has to be in the organization space and not an external team.

    This upgrade action applies to inviting a collaborator via the file's share modal, or sharing an edit link to a file.

  • E

    Perform an edit action

    Figma will upgrade a viewer to a paid editor role if they open an organization file and click Edit file to gain edit access.

    This will only apply if the link sharing settings for that file is set to can edit.

  • F

    Join teams as an editor

    Viewers can request to join closed teams in the organization. As part of that process, they can request either can view or can edit access.

    If a team admin accepts their request to join with edit permissions, Figma will upgrade them to a paid editor role in the organization.

  • G

    Join a team without editors

    If a viewer joins an existing team in the organization, which doesn't have any editors or admins in it, they can get edit access by claiming ownership of that team.

  Note: It's possible for a member to have edit permissions on a team, but still have a viewer role in the organization. Figma will only include them in the organization's billing once they take an edit action on a file. This includes the Edit file action mentioned above.

  Upgrade requests

  Figma will prompt a viewer-restricted member or guest to request an upgrade → if they attempt an upgrade action. As part of this process, they can choose which admins in the organization they want to send their request to.

  Figma will send an email to the selected admins who can approve or deny the request:

  • Select Approve request to upgrade them to a paid editor role
  • Select Decline request to refuse the request and keep them as viewer-restricted members

  

  Manage upgrades

  Figma will include any new editors in the organization's quarterly true-up. Organization admins can view and manage new editors in the organization's admin settings.

  1. From the file browser, click Admin settings under the organization's name.

  2. Select Members at the top of the page.

  3. Check the New since last invoice box to filter results to only new editors.

  4. Click the to open the Recent activity modal.

     • View the last five events in the member's history. Figma will show the date, description of the activity or event, the team the activity is related to, and the IP address of the user.
     • View the date, reason, and related member for any recently upgraded editors.
     • Click the See more activity button to open the Activity log with this member selected. Learn more about viewing member activity →

     

  5. From here you can take further action:

     • View recent activity: click and select View user activity.
     • Downgrade a member: click Editor and select Viewer - restricted.
     • Remove a member: click and select Remove user.
• Add organization members or guests

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on the Figma Organization plan

  Everyone in an organization has both an account type and a role. Their account type will determine what resources they can access in the organization workspace.

  • Members have an email address that matches any of the organization's domains. This allows them to access shared resources within the organization, including teams, fonts, libraries, and plugins.

  • Guest have an email address that doesn't match an organization's. They could be contractors, agencies, clients, or external collaborators with external email addresses. Guests can only the specific teams, files, or projects to which you invite them. It's not possible to make a guest a member, unless you give them a company email.

  A person's role in the organization determines the highest level of access they can have, as well as their billing status—if Figma includes them in an organization's billing. There are a few ways members can be assigned roles. Learn more about organization upgrades →

  Add members or guests

  There are a few ways to add members and guests to an organization:

  • Add all company accounts to organization (domain capture)
  • Invite to teams, projects, or files
  • Add them to the organization
  • Add them to your identity provider (SAML SSO)

  The invite method also determines what account type and initial role you can assign. Learn more about roles and account types →

  	Members	Guests	Initial role
  Domain capture	✓	✕	Viewer only
  Invite to team, project, or file	✓	✓	Viewer or editor
  Add to the organization	Only when domain capture is off	✕	Viewer only
  SAML SSO	✓	✕	Viewer only

  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.

  • Invite collaborators to a team
  • Invite someone to a project
  • Invite a collaborator to a file

  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

  If domain capture is off: organization admins can add members to the organization itself. You' can't invite guests to the organization, but you can invite them to a team, project, or file.

  If domain capture is on: you can only add members or guests by inviting them to a team, project, or file.

  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.

  1. Select Admin settings in the sidebar.
  2. Select the Members tab.
  3. Click Invite member to open the invite modal.
  4. Enter the member's company email address and click Send Invite.
  5. Figma will send an email to the member's email address. Click the link in the email to join the organization.

  Add via SAML SOO

  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.

  The third-party documentation below has detailed instructions on how to add members to your identity provider:

  • Azure Active Directory (external link)
  • OneLogin (external link)
  • Okta (external link)
  • Google (external link)
• Monitor member and guest activity

  Export activity logs

  You can export a copy of your activity logs, which includes all the data in your activity logs. This is great if you want to back up this information or dig further into events.

  When you request a CSV export, Figma will ignore any filters you've applied and export your entire activity log for the selected date range.

  1. Enter a start and end date to see results for a specific date range.
  2. Click Request CSV in the top-right corner of the screen.
  3. Figma will download a CSV to your designated downloads folder.

  There are a few different dates we reference in the CSV file:

  • Last active: The date and time the user was last active in Figma. This is not specific to edit actions and includes activity in the file browser.
  • Last edit: The date and time the user last took an edit action on a Figma file in the organization space. This includes files in a user's drafts.
  • Last seen: The date and time the user last visited a Figma link.

  

  Activity log events

  Figma will record the following information, for every event that is added to the Activity Log. Figma records and logs events for a maximum of 365 days.

  • Date and time the event occurred. All times are shown in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
  • IP address of the related user
  • User's actor Id. For example: John Appleseed or Figma Support
