I tried this, it doesn’t work. They still can edit 😑

+1 and not only dev mode… Edit and Viewers permissions are broken in general. All people can edit everything and they made in my organization a mess due this issue. I had to block and hide all the design system to keep it safe.

Fix this assap!!!

I have the same issue. Two of our developers were somehow given edit access even though none of our designers (who should have edit access) approved any request to edit. I only received this email:

I also sent a message to Figma’s customer support, hope they can help me sort this out.

I got the reply from the Figma team:

"Once a user has full permission, viewer-restricted is the only permission they can be changed to. Viewer and viewer-restricted are the same in that they are both free and can leave comments, however viewer-restricted is preferred as it requires admin/owner approval before upgrading to a paid seat unlink [I assume this should be “unlike”?] viewer who can self-upgrade without notice [emphasis mine] by making an editing action.

If you’d like to prevent additional charges in the future, you can easily do that by setting your user type to ‘Viewer-Restricted’ as default. This setting will require Admin approval for a user to be upgraded to a paid seat. Our Help Center article provides step-by-step instructions on how to change the setting."

I now set the default user type to viewer-restricted (and changed all current viewers to that, too). It confuses me (and viewers) that viewers can self-upgrade without notice.

Well… just to let you know, folks
IT’S INTENTIONAL !

See!

So @Figma_Moderation
Why don’t you give to pro plan admin, the right to clearly manage users, with Dev mode seats??? Give me an answer, please

I don’t get why this pattern is not standard.
It’s not a conversion lever… we don’t have the money to upgrade.
