Organization admins and workspace admins only

Workspaces are collections of teams, people, and resources within a Figma organization.

Assigning people to a workspace lets organization admins delegate user and content management responsibilities to workspace admins. Assigning people to a workspace won’t affect their membership to any teams they’ve already joined. While people can only get assigned to one workspace, they’ll still be able to browse, join, or ask to join teams in other workspaces in your organization.

Anyone who isn't assigned to a workspace is considered Unassigned. Both organization and workspace admins can manage unassigned users.

Organization admins can assign people to–or move people between–any workspace within the organization.
Workspace admins can only assign people to–or move people between–workspaces they manage.

Assign any unassigned people to a workspace

From the file browser, click Admin in the left sidebar.
Select the People tab. Figma will show all members by default.
Click the Workspace: All filter and select Unassigned.
Navigate to, or search for people you want to assign.
In the Workspace column of the table, click Unassigned and select a new workspace.

Tip: To manage multiple people at once, select them in the table and click Change workspace from the bulk actions menu at the bottom of the page.

From the file browser, click Admin in the left sidebar.
Make sure the correct workspace is displayed at the top of the tab bar. If necessary, click the name of the organization or current workspace and switch to the correct workspace.
Select the People tab and click Add members.
Navigate to, or search for, people you'd like to assign and mark the checkbox next to their name.
