Members, guests, and limited access

Everyone on a Figma plan has an account type. A person's account type determines what they can access.

On Organization and Enterprise plans, this means being a member or a guest. On Starter and Professional plans, it means being a full plan member or having limited access.

Organization and Enterprise plans

Members

Members are people in the organization that have an email address that matches any of the organization's domains.

Twigma has the twigma.com and dev.twigma.com domains registered to their organization. Anyone that joins the organization with a Twigma email address, for example: name@twigma.com or name@dev.twigma.com, is a member.

Members can access teams, libraries, and other resources shared within the organization.

• View and explore visible organization teams
• Access teams open to the organization or request to join visible teams set to Only those invited
• View activity for other members and guests
• Access styles and components from organization-wide libraries
• View library analytics (for libraries they can access)
• Access shared fonts in organization files
• Use private plugins in organization files

A member’s seat type, and their permissions on individual teams, impact how they can interact with those resources.

There are a few ways to add members to the organization:

• Add them to the organization itself
• Invite them to a specific team, folder, or file
• Import members with existing Figma accounts using domain capture
• Provision and authenticate users via SAML SSO

Guests

A guest is anyone in the organization that doesn't have a company email. They are external users with email addresses that don't match any of the organization's domains. They could be contractors, agencies, clients, or external collaborators.

Twigma has the twigma.com domain registered to their organization. They work with an agency called DsgnSystm who they invite to a specific team in the organization. Collaborators from the agency have dsgnsystm.com emails, not twigma.com emails, so they are guests. They can't access any teams or resources outside the team they’re invited to.

Guests have limited access to the organization. They can only access the resources you invite them to. They can't browse organization teams or access shared resources like fonts, plugins, or library analytics.

Set permissions when inviting guests to a team, file, or folder. Like members, they can have different permissions on each resource. Guests can also have any seat type.

Organization admins can set seat approval settings for anyone joining the organization. Seat approval settings apply to both members and guests.

Starter and Professional plans

Full members

Full members are part of your plan itself—not just invited to a specific folder or file. They're included when a folder or file is shared broadly with "Anyone in [plan]."

Limited access members

Some people you work with aren't full members of your plan—they've only been directly invited to specific folders or files.

You can see members with limited access with a Limited access label from the team members list, so you can tell them apart from full plan members.

To make a limited access member a full member:

1. Open the file browser by logging in at figma.com. If you're in a Figma file, click the Figma menu > Back to files.
2. Select All folders from the left sidebar.
3. Click the dropdown menu next to the team name and select View members.
4. Click the limited access member’s role to open the dropdown, then click Grant member access.
