  Who can use this feature

  Supported on the Figma Organization plan.

  Only organization admins can publish private plugins to the organization.

  Organization admins can Enable the approve list to control which plugins members can use in the organization workspace.

  When enabled, organization members can only install and run public plugins that are on the approve list. This includes any plugins members installed before turning on the approve list.

  Members can still view public plugins outside this list, but not run them in organization files. Organization members can also use any private organization plugins.

  Enable approved plugins list

  1. Open Figma in the file browser.
  2. Select Admin Settings in the sidebar and click the Settings tab.
  3. In the Other section, toggle on Approved plugins.

  

  Note: Figma reviews every plugin that members publish to the Figma Community for overall quality. Due to the nature of the plugin development process, Figma isn't able to perform extensive reviews of a plugin's privacy and security.

  Figma does not review plugins that are shared privately within the organization. Learn more about our Plugin Review Guidelines.

  Any member of an organization can publish a private plugin to the organization.

  Only organization admins can publish public plugins to an organization profile. Publish plugins to the Community →

  Organizations often have internal tools and systems, with private information or data, that can't be shared outside the organization.

  Private plugins allows members of the organization to use organization-specific plugins, without having to share them with the rest of the Community.

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

  Publish private plugins

  When publishing a plugin, you can use the Publish to setting to choose whether to publish the plugin to the organization or the Community. Private plugins don't need to go through the review process before they are available to use.

  1. Open the file browser in the Figma desktop app.

  2. Click on the account switcher in the top-right corner and select the Plugins tab. Figma will load any plugins you have In development.

  3. Click on the plugin you'd like to publish and select Publish from the options.

  4. Complete any details including the name, icon, cover art, and description.

  5. Select Organization name to share the plugin privately within the organization.

     

  6. Click Publish to submit your plugin. The plugin is now available to members of your organization. Guests aren't able to access install or run private plugins.

  Only the plugin's original publisher can change the plugin's access. They can update this setting by publishing 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 Figma's plugin review process.
