Organizations that manage users with Microsoft Entra ID can configure SAML SSO in Figma. Figma supports both identity (Entra ID) and service (Figma) initiated configurations.

We recommend having both Figma and Entra ID open in separate tabs. This allows you to switch between them throughout the setup process.

Set up SAML SSO

Open SAML in Figma

Open your organization's SAML SSO settings in Figma. We'll come back to this page to configure SAML SSO in Figma, later on in the process.

1. Open the organization in Figma.
2. In the sidebar, select Admin.
3. Select the Settings tab.
4. In the Login and provisioning section, click Authentication.
5. Make sure authentication is set to Members may log in with any available method... Click Done.
6. From the Login and provisioning section, click SAML SSO.
7. Figma opens a modal dialog with some key information for the SAML process.
   • Tenant ID: 123456789123456789
   • SP entity ID: https://www.figma.com/saml/123456789123456789
   • SP ACS URL: https://www.figma.com/saml/123456789123456789/consume

Figma uses your Tenant ID to generate your SP identity ID and SP ACS URL. You’ll need these when configuring SAML in Entra ID. You’ll use the SP entity ID to create a URL for service-provider initiated authentication.

1. Switch to the Entra ID tab in your browser and make sure you’re on the SAML sign-on page.
2. Find the Attributes & Claims section. Click the pencil icon to edit these attributes.

1. In your Entra ID Portal go to Enterprise Applications > All Applications

3. Go to the Manage section and select Provisioning.
4. Set the Provisioning Mode to Automatic.

    • Sync only assigned users and groups
13. Click Save to apply your provisioning settings.

Let your users know about the change

The first time a user logs into Figma using SSO, or after they are provisioned via SCIM, they'll receive a verification email from SendGrid. This email contains a unique 6-digit pin, which they'll use just once as an additional security measure during their initial login.

To make sure users don't mistake the email for spam or a phishing attempt, you may wish to let them know about this extra step in advance.
