Introducing Figma Organization: Our first enterprise-grade offering | Figma Blog

Figma Organization was introduced as Figma’s first enterprise-grade offering, designed to help large companies manage design collaboratively on the web. It combines administrative controls such as unified billing and audit reports with designer-focused features including unlimited teams, Shared Fonts, and organization-wide design systems. The central argument is that web-based, centralized design enables companies to scale collaboration without losing team autonomy.

From Startup Tool to Enterprise Platform

• Figma describes a shift from serving primarily innovative startups to supporting organizations across industries and sizes.
• Companies increasingly wanted to replace isolated design teams, local files, and fragmented workflows with an open, web-based process.
• Figma Organization was developed with feedback from companies including Rakuten, Square, Volvo, and Uber.
• The offering added:
  • Unified billing
  • Audit reports
  • Enhanced security and privacy controls
  • Unlimited teams
  • Shared Fonts
  • Organization-wide design systems

Unlimited, Browsable Teams

• Organizations can create or join unlimited teams, giving employees a central place to discover:
  • Prototypes
  • Design files
  • Exportable assets
  • Code handoff materials
• Because Figma operates on the web, files remain current and accessible across teams.
• Administrators can control team visibility with three privacy levels:
  • Open: Anyone can join.
  • Closed: Anyone can view the team, but joining or editing requires approval.
  • Secret: The team is visible only to invited members.
• This structure allows organizations to preserve independent team workflows while maintaining a broader view of company-wide work.
• Uber used the model to consolidate previously scattered files across products such as Uber Eats, Uber Freight, and its ridesharing service. After testing the beta, Uber moved most of its product design work to Figma.

Organization-Wide Design Systems

• Figma Organization allows teams to share Component and Style libraries across products and services.
• Square used the platform to support more than 100 designers across over 25 products and maintain six design systems for iOS, Android, and the web.
• Designers can browse another product’s design system, reuse established patterns, and adapt them to their own branding.
• Shared libraries provide a single source of truth: teams work with the same component versions in the same tool.
• Designers can update master components or styles centrally, and users of those assets are automatically notified when changes occur.

Figma Organization’s practical value lies in combining centralized governance with decentralized team work. For large companies, adopting shared teams, controlled visibility, and reusable design systems can reduce fragmentation while keeping designs consistent and up to date.
