Who can use this feature

Workspaces are only available on the Enterprise plan

Only organization admins and workspace admins can manage workspaces

Workspaces are collections of teams, people, and resources in a Figma organization. They add a layer of structure to help people focus on the work that matters to them.

Organization admins can create workspaces and assign workspace admins to each workspace.
Workspace admins have a level of access below organization admins. Workspace admins manage teams, people, and resources in their workspaces. They can't manage any organization-wide resources or settings.
