  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 run 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 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.

  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.

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