Go to the file: https://www.figma.com/file/pJPdWYHhzUFZNBBjSKsJMI/Brand-Refresh-Component-Update?node-id=0%3A1

Be signed in as me: [email redacted]
Attempt to edit.

3. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc.

Evernote

4. Is the issue only happening in desktop app or a specific browser , or both?
Both

5. What OS/version and/or browser/version are you using?

Hi, I have the same issue on Figma and Figjam, I appear to be editor but I’m stuck on view only mode. I’m using Windows. Need help immediately, thanks.

We have a professional team plan and facing the same issue.
Sometimes only file creator has edit access when they create a new project within the team and members have view only access.
This creates unnecessary steps for team members to give edit access to people individually.

We have a Professional team plan and have the same issue that members with an editor’s permission can’t have access to files on the team projects. Is there any solutions to this bug?

Currently experiencing the same bug. On a Professional team plan as well, and we’re unable to edit even if user is the “owner” of the file and even when all members have editor access. It’s not working on either browser or desktop app. And we’ve even cleared the cache. Help!

  • logging out
  • logging back in
  • uninstalling app
  • reinstalling app
  • clearing browser cache
  • clearing app cache

Still just see “View only” this is 100% blocking me, how can we resolve this?
