Every member of a team or organization has an internal profile. Internal profiles let other members of your team or organization see your contributions to shared resources.
A person’s internal profile includes:
- A person’s name and profile picture
- An optional description
- Names of any teams of which they're a member
- Names of any recent projects they have worked on
- A list of files they have contributed to recently. A contribution can include edits and comments. Figma shows a thumbnail, file name, project, and date of last activity for each file.
View your profile
View your own internal profile from your Figma account.
- Open your Figma account.
- Click your profile picture in the menu bar to open the account menu.
- Select Internal profile from the list.
When viewing your own profile, you can see all the files you’re working on—including files in your drafts. You’ll also see your email address under your name.
When other people view your internal profile, they can only see the teams, projects, and files they have access to. We explore what resources people can see below.
View other profiles
View a collaborator's internal profile to see which files, projects, and teams they are working on. Click on a collaborator's profile picture to view their profile. This applies to the profile picture in any of the following places:
- From the toolbar when a member is active in a file or prototype. Hover over their profile picture and click View profile.
- On a team or file card when viewing your account in the file browser.
- From organization, team, and project pages:
- Organization admins list in the right sidebar of a organization page
- Members list in the right sidebar of a team page
- Recent contributors list on the right sidebar of a project page
View profile
- Hover over a collaborator’s profile picture.
- Figma shows their full name and a prompt to view their profile.
- Click View profile to access their personal profile.
Tip! You can also view their internal profile via URL. They will need to share this with you, by copying it from the browser address bar.
What resources can others see?
When you view someone’s internal profile, you can only view files, projects, and teams that you have access to. This can be explicit or inherited access.
Caution: Your internal profile doesn’t show your email address. However, collaborators can see your email address when searching your name in their Figma account.
Files
Any team or organization plan
View any files you have access to, including:
- Files in teams or projects of which you’re a member.
- Files you’ve been explicitly invited to. This can include files in a person’s drafts, or files in a team or project you’re not a member of.
- Files with public access (Anyone with the link settings). You don’t need to be a member of a team or project to access a public file.
- In an organization, members can also see files with Anyone in organization can view/edit settings. Guests can’t see these files unless they were invited to the file.
Projects
Organization or Enterprise plans
View a list of projects you have access to:
- Projects from teams you’ve joined as a member.
- Projects someone has invited you to.
- Projects from open organization teams. Guests can’t see projects from open teams unless they’re a member of that team.
- You won't see any projects from closed teams, unless you're also a member of the team.
If you have access to a project, you can click on the project name to view it. If the project lives in an open team you’re not a member of, you won’t be able to click on the project name or view its contents.
Professional, Education, and Starter plans
View projects in any teams of which you’re both a member, or projects you’ve been invited to. You won’t see projects you don’t have access to.
Teams
Organization or Enterprise plans
View the team name of any teams they are a member of.
- Teams you’re both a member of
- Any open or closed teams the person is a member of.
- Figma won’t show secret teams, unless you’re a member of those teams.
Note: Organization guests can only see teams of which they’re a member. They can’t view open, closed, or secret teams.
To view a team you have access to, click on the team name. If the team name is greyed out, it means you aren’t a member of that team and can’t access its contents.
As the profile shows the name of any open teams, you can still search for that team within the organization. From the search results, click Join to access the team and view any files and projects.
Professional, Education, and Starter plans
View teams of which you’re both a member. You can’t see any other teams that person is a member of. Click on the team name to view the team and access any files and projects.
Example
Let's explore the internal profile for a colleague of ours, Emma. We work in the same organization and are on some of the same teams.
- A
Emma is a member of four teams: Growth Marketing, Product, Brand, and RCS. We're also a member of the Brand and Product teams, so we can click these teams to view them. We're not a member of the Growth Marketing or RCS teams, so we can't interact with those teams. These teams are visible as they have open (Growth Marketing) and closed (RCS) organization access.
- B
We can see a list of six recent projects that Emma has contributed to. Three of these projects live in teams we have access to, so we can access those projects from Emma's profile. The other projects live in the Growth Marketing team: an open team we aren't a member of. We can't see any projects related to the RCS team, as its a closed team.
- C
There are only six files in her list of recent file contributions that we have access to. There's a file in this list from the Mobile project. While we don't have access to this project or its team, we can still access this specific file as link sharing is set to Anyone with the link. We can't see any files from the Growth Marketing or RCS teams.
