In this guide, you'll learn how to manage seats in Figma using Okta. To get started, follow the steps below:

  1. Things to check before you start
  2. Create Okta Groups for provisioning
  3. Disable your Okta provisioning and deprovisioning service
  4. Add custom attribute mappings for seatType
  5. Map custom attributes to Okta assignment groups
  6. Re-enable your Okta provisioning service
  7. Test user provisioning
  8. Re-enable your Okta deprovisioning service

Things to check before you start

  • Install the Figma Application from the Okta App Catalog. This guide does not cover custom SAML configurations.
  • Make sure you are an Okta Administrator who has scopes to Add/Update Groups and Applications as well as create custom attributes.
  • Make sure you are an Organization admin in Figma and are on the Enterprise plan.
  • Complete the section on ’Setting up automatic provisioning via SCIM' in Okta.

Configure Okta Groups for provisioning

Under Directory>Groups, you will need to create 4 different groups that represent all seat type combinations: Full, Dev, Collab, and View

Here’s what each of these access groups represent:

Okta Group Name

Description

Recommended Titles

Figma

Full Seat

Users inherit access to Figma Design, Dev Mode, Figma Slides, and FigJam

Figma

Dev Seat

Users inherit access to Dev Mode, Figma Slides, and FigJam

Figma

Collab Seat

Users inherit access to Figma Slides and FigJam.

Figma

View Seat

Users inherit free, view and comment-only permissions to Figma products

Disable your Okta provisioning and deprovisioning service

Under Okta Admin > Applications > Applications > Figma > Provisioning, click Edit. Disable the settings Create User, Update User Attributes > Deactivate Users and click Save.

Add custom attribute mappings for seatType

  • Navigate to Applications > Figma > Provisioning > Figma Attribute Mappings.
  • Click Go To Profile Editor.

  • Click Add Attribute.
  • You will need to create a single attribute for seatType using the following configuration details.

Display Name

Data Type

Variable Name

External Name

External Namespace

Seat type

string

seatType

Note that Okta will append 'figma.' to the front of the variable name AFTER saving.

roles.^[type=='seatType'].value

urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User

  • Specify the following Enum Values:

Display Name

Value

Full

Full

Dev

Dev

Collab

Collab

View

View

  • Set the Attribute Type to Group. Click Save.

Map custom attributes to Okta assignment groups

  • Navigate to the Assignments tab within your Figma Application.

  • Under the Groups filter. You will see assignment groups that will assign Figma for SSO (if configured) as well as for SCIM provisioning. Click the Assign drop-down menu and click Assign to Groups.
  • Add the 4 groups you created in the Configure Okta Groups for Provisioning step.
  • For each of the 4 groups, click the pencil icon and set the custom attributes seatType, to the following values:

Group Name

seatType

Figma | Full Seat

Full

Figma | Dev Seat

Dev

Figma | Collab Seat

Collab

Figma | View Seat

View

  • Click Save for each value.
  • Within the Assignments view, set the Priority by dragging/dropping the Okta app assignment groups into the same order as mentioned in the table above. This will ensure in the edge case that a user is assigned to multiple groups, the top-most level group assigns the most permissive combination of licenses.
    • Note that the assignment group model used in this guide assumes an Okta user will be assigned to a single Okta Group that assigns a single seat value.

Re-enable your Okta provisioning service

Under Okta Admin > Applications > Applications > Figma > Provisioning, click Edit. Enable the settings Create User, Update User Attributes and click Save.

Note: You will enable Okta Deprovisioning after performing a successful test provision.

Test user provisioning

Before testing your mapping, remember to assign a test user to your groups. We recommend you test provisioning a seat from each group with a single test user.

  • Assign a test user to one of your Okta assignment groups.

  • Navigate to Applications > Figma > Provisioning.
    • Ensure Provisioning to App: Create Users and Update Users are Enabled, at minimum.
    • Under Figma Attribute Mappings click Force Sync – this will push any test SCIM users you have assigned to access groups to Figma.
    • You can validate a successful push SCIM event under Applications > Figma > View Logs.

  • Within Figma’s admin console, navigate to Members. You should see your test user reporting “Pending SCIM” with the appropriate license combination associated with that Okta App Assignment Group.

  • You may repeat the above test for the other following test cases:
    • Remove that test user from one Okta App Assignment Group and add to another: this should update the user’s licenses in Figma.

Re-enable your Okta deprovisioning service

Under Okta Admin > Applications > Applications > Figma > Provisioning, click Edit. Enable the setting Deactivate Users and click Save.
