Hey ​@Komalnstars, thanks for reaching out! 

Since you're on an Enterprise plan, there's a distinction worth checking first: your seat type (View, Collab, Dev, or Full) and your file permission (can view or can edit) are two separate things. Even if someone's given you edit access to this specific file, you'll still only see the Comment and Properties tabs, not Design and Prototype, until your seat is upgraded to a Full seat. That upgrade has to be approved by an org admin.

To help confirm this is what's happening: do you know what seat type you currently have (you can check this under your profile, or ask your org admin)? If you're on a View, Collab, or Dev seat, that would explain what you're seeing, and you'd want to request a Full seat, either through your admin directly or by clicking Start editing on the file, which sends the request automatically.

Here's more on seat types and what each one includes if it's helpful, along with how to make a seat request.

I can't look into your account specifics here on the forum for security reasons, but if you'd like us to check your seat and file permissions directly, feel free to reach out through the Figma Support Hub anytime, we're happy to take a closer look.

Let me know what seat type you're on and we can go from there!
