Prevent editor from editing in a specific file

Yeah, need this one as well since we made a template for new Figma files but the designers often forgot to duplicate it first & ended up with a used Figma template.

Hi @Phu_Nguyen, Thank you for reaching out with your question.

We tested this on our end, and I can confirm that the tooltip information on the Share modal is accurate. If a person has edit access at the team level where the file is located, they will still be able to edit the file.

If you’re looking to prevent this, you might consider the following three options.
Based on your description of the company’s situation, it sounds like you want them to be able to view but not edit the files. In that case, I think the second option would be the most suitable for your scenario!

• Change the person’s permissions at the team level >> Team permissions
• Move the file to a project and set the team access level for the project (available on paid plans) >> Create a new project
• Update the access settings to include password protection for the file (available on paid plans) >> Add password protection to files

I hope this helps! If anyone from our community has any additional insights or workarounds, please feel free to share them here.

Thanks,
