Here’s the Situation:
We’re on an Organization Plan.
We have a small subsiduary company that was working independently from us with a Professional plan.
As we are going to have them start using our Design System Libraries, we want to transfer their projects and some of their accounts to our Organization plan. As they are also using Figma for a few different projects, they want to keep the Professional plan and some of their accounts. (The accounts do not overlap)
Unfortunately it’s very unclear to me what the best way to do this is.
First of all, there seem to be 2 different types of Teams:
- If I go to the Team dropdown and choose “create new” it tells me I’m creating a Team, and I am asked to choose a plan. So this would be a new account. But this Team would not have access to my current team’s Libraries… right?
- If I go to the “All teams” tab under my current team, I can easily add a Team, which essentially is a folder with access permissions. (And in this new team I can add projects)
Question 1: “Transfering a team” (See this page on Figma Help) refers to which type of team? I think it’s the first kind, because it refers to prorating the associated full seats to the other plan, but we need them to keep their old plan with some of the full accounts they have.
Question 2: Can they make the second type of team on a Professional plan, move all their Projects there and then transfer that “Team” to us? We need to have their files still point to their current libraries and not break…
Right now it looks to me that we’re looking at transferring Projects one by one to our Plan (Or somehow dumping all the projects in one project and transferring that?) and making new full Design accounts for their designers and them removing full Design accounts from their Professional plan.
