While I working in a file, I suddenly saw a red error banner that said "Someone Revoked Your Access to This File" and the file closed. I tried reopening the file and it would show the same error and then close the file.

I quit Figma and then relaunched it. I tried opening the file again and it seems to be open and running fine now. Just wanted to report this in case there’s a bug.

I’m having the same issue. It happened a few times for about an hour. I’m the owner/admin so it has to be a bug.

I am the owner of a file and a coworker suddenly got the same notification as above (and it’s only us two in the file, while I have never even touched permissions). Then she continued to work on it, and suddenly got kicked out of the file.

 

When she tried to go back in she got this message:

 

And that absolutely didn’t happen.

 

After a while she could go back in without issues.

 

It obviously must be a bug, but please fix these kind of things, as it gives us designers a heart attack - not only that we cannot work on things that need to get done asap, but also thinking we’re laid off and just no one told us yet 😅
