Organization admins can assign teams to any workspace.
Workspace admins can set default teams for their workspaces.
Workspaces are collections of teams, people, and resources. They add another layer of structure within larger organizations.
Workspace admins can set default teams for their workspaces. Default teams can be teams in the current workspace or organization teams in other workspaces.
Figma adds everyone in the workspace to the current default teams. This applies to existing members or guests, or anyone new who joins the workspace.

Note: Figma only automates joining teams. Leaving a workspace doesn’t remove someone from any default or workspace-specific teams. Removing a team from a workspace’s default teams doesn’t affect membership for existing team members.
