    Manage teams in an organization

    Before you start

    Who can use this feature

    Supported on Figma Organization plan

    Only team admins can manage teams in an organization.

    One of the big benefits of Figma Organizations is that you can create as many teams as you need. Every team in Figma will have its own dedicated workspace, where team members can access team projects and files.

    Teams in an organization also have admins, these are team members with extra administration rights. They can manage members and shared resources like default libraries and custom fonts. Learn more about teams in an organization →

    Organizations admins and team admins are separate privileges and aren't interchangeable. Organizations admins don't have admin access to teams, but they can perform some administrative tasks around teams.

    In this article we'll cover managing teams in an organization as a team admin and an organization admin.

    I'm a team admin

    Team admins have can edit to the teams they manage. They can manage other member's permissions, shared resources like fonts and libraries, and delete the team itself.

    Manage team members

    View and manage members of your team in the Members tab of your team workspace.

    Members tab for a team in an organization which shows a table of members the disclosure menu is open for one member showing the available options

    1. View a member's profile picture, name and email address.
    2. Click Invite to add a member to your team. Members and guests can invite other members or guests at or below their permission level. For example: viewers can only invite viewers, editors can invite viewers or editors.
    3. View a team member's current team-level permissions. Click the <ICON> to make changes to their access:
      • Update their permissions to can view or can edit. Learn more about permissions in teams →
      • Select admin to make them an admin of the team, this will also give them can edit access to the team.
      • Select remove to revoke their access to the team. If the Org access of the team is open or closed, members can request to join the team again. To add a guest back to the team, you need to invite them again.

    Note: The members tab for a team in an organization only includes collaborators who have a role on the team itself. This doesn't include anyone who has a role on an individual file or project within that team.

    Manage resources

    In an organization, you can share both libraries and fonts within a team. Learn how to upload and manage fonts for a team in our Manage fonts in an organization article.

    To enable a library for a team in an organization:

    1. Click on the team name in the sidebar.

    2. Select the Setting tab at the top of the page.

    3. Click Enable libraries to open the libraries modal and view a list of available libraries.

      Use the toggles to enable or disable that library in the current file:

    Delete a team

    Caution: When you delete a team in an organization, Figma will delete the team, as well as all files and projects in that team. This applies for all collaborators, not only you.

    The owner of a team, or a team admin can restore the deleted team. They will have 28 days to restore the team before Figma will permanently delete any files and projects.

    We recommend moving files and projects to another team first. Alternatively, you can transfer ownership of the team to another admin or editor ↑.

    1. Open the team in the file browser.

    Note: If there are no longer any team admins, an organization admin can join the team as an owner ↓. This allows them to promote another member to admin, or move files and project to another team.

    I'm an organization admin

    Organization admins won't have admin access to every team in the organization. Organization admins can only perform administrative actions for teams if they're an admin of that team.

    There are some things that organization admins can do:

    • View a list of open and closed teams in the organization.
    • Claim ownership of teams in the organization that don't currently have an owner.

    View teams in the organization

    Like all members of the organization, admins can view a list of open and closed teams from the organization page. They can also view a list of teams in the organization's Admin settings.

    This allows them to perform bulk actions or reassign ownership of teams without owners.

    1. From the file browser, click Admin settings in the left sidebar.
    2. Select Teams at the top of the screen.

    • Get started with Figma Organization

      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 determines if they can get edit access to teams, projects, or files. It also determines if they're included in the organization's billing

      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.

      Billing in an Organization

      As members can join many teams, Figma bills organizations as a whole. Anyone with can edit access to a team, project, or file outside their drafts is included in the organization's billing.

      Access and security

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

      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.

      Set up SAML SSO with one of our dedicated providers:

      If your provider isn't listed above, you can set up a custom SAML SSO configuration:

    • Organization domains and domain capture

      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 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

      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.

    • Manage organization role upgrades

      Everyone who interacts with an organization has an account type and a role. In this article, we are focusing on making changes to a member or guest's role.

      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

      Upgrade_request_email.png

        • Remove a member: click and select Remove user.
    • Add organization members or guests

      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 →

      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

      If domain capture is off: organization admins can add members to the organization in the Members tab. You can't invite guests to the organization, but you can invite them to a specific 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.
