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

• Approve plugins in an organization

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on the Figma Organization plan.

  Only organization admins can publish private plugins to the organization.

  Plugins are third-party scripts or applications that extend the functionality of Figma. By default, members can install plugins without approval from an organization admin.

  With plugin approval enabled, organization admins can choose a list of allowed plugins for their organization. Members will need to request approval to install and run plugins that aren't on the 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 Plugin approval.

  

  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.

  Add approved plugins

  Adding a plugin to the approve list allows organization members to install and run these plugins in the organization space.

  3. Select Admin settings in the sidebar.

  6. Paste the plugin link in the field provided and click Add to confirm. Figma will add the plugin to the list of approved plugins.

  Remove approved plugins

  Removing plugins from the approve list will prevent members from using the plugin in an organization files. That applies to any files within the organization space.

  Members can still use public plugins in their personal space.

  1. Select Admin settings in the sidebar.
  2. Select Resources at the top of the page, then select Approved plugins.
