Clients report this while trying to leave comments on files shared with them with their newly created accounts.
I tried it myself using a temporary email address and got the same response. 

Both case scenarios happened on Chrome-like browsers

    Hi ​@Aitor_Olavarria, thanks for reaching out about this! 

    I understand the confusion here, and I can see how it must be slowing down your workflow. Typically, accounts created with a disposable or temporary email domain are restricted from commenting by default, since these types of emails are more commonly used for abuse. The test you ran with a temporary email address shows that the security measures Figma has in place are working as intended. To investigate this further, may I ask: 

    • Are they signing up with their own company or personal email domains, or something temporary?
    • Have they confirmed their email address via the verification link Figma sends at signup? New accounts need to verify before they can take most actions.
    • Is this happening for every client on a new account, or just a few?

    That said, since we prefer that account specifics (full names, email addresses, etc.) shouldn't be shared publicly, the fastest path for your affected clients is to email support+restricted@figma.com directly from their restricted account. From there, our team can look at the specific restriction and lift it if it's a false positive. If any of them are on a domain they can't switch away from, be sure to mention that in the email too.

     

     

    Let me know the details you can without using account specifics, and we can try to get you connected with our support team to investigate further, as needed. Hope this information helps in the meantime!
