Question

Get only user identity via OAuth

Hello friends,

I noticed the only permission scope of Figma authentication via OAuth2 is “file_read”, but this is too much for me. In my circumstances, users are posting some data to my server inside the Figma plugin, for which I only have to get a valid user identity, not an access to their Figma files.

I think it’s very similar to those “Sign in with Google/Facebook” buttons, does Figma provide something like this? A “Sign in with Figma” button?

Nah they don’t care. Things like this really frustrate me it’s like half an hour work if even that.
This is one of our main drop-off points for new users as they are worried we would steal their data. So we are moving away from Figma and just building our own product instead of a Figma plugin.

@weave.ly Just an idea for you, we just implemented OAuth and included a footnote that links to a separate page where we explain what we do & don’t use from API call. Can check it out here. Not perfect but at least provides some context for folks who might be hesitant about the scopes
