Hey ​@Shaysalb, thanks for reaching out! 

A couple of things to double-check first:

  • Make sure you’re logged into the same account that was invited to the Albatross team.

  • Open the team switcher in the sidebar and confirm whether the Albatross team appears there
  • After accepting an invite, it sometimes helps to fully refresh the session. Try logging out, closing all Figma tabs, and logging back in.
  • The team owner or an admin will need to send a direct invite to your account. They can do this by clicking the “…” menu next to the team name and selecting Invite to team, then inviting you with Can edit permissions. Once you’re properly added to the team, you should automatically see the correct plan when you switch to that team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If it’s still not showing after that, let me know I am happy to help further!

Hi ​@Shaysalb, thanks for the screenshot! 

Please click the down caret  symbol next to Shay’s team to select Albatross from the Teams menu. 

If you’re still having trouble seeing the team there, please share a screenshot of the Teams you can see from that menu, and we’ll continue troubleshooting together.

Hi ​@Shaysalb, thanks for the screenshot! 

This is definitely odd. From what we can see on the backend, you’re definitely part of the Albatross team. Did you also receive a direct invite to the file you’re trying to edit? Is the team member you mentioned, Sariel, able to share a link to the file directly? 

If so, please let us know if you have edit access through that direct file URL link.

the problem is not editing the file, but the fact I am spending all of my ai credits fast since I am on a free user and not part of the team … I was assigned a seat but still get credits like free user ,…

what to do?

@Shaysalb To hop off what Denise recently mentioned, and your response above ^^ I’m wondering if you’re actually working out of the right team.

I see you are a part of 3 teams: 
 

Albatross -- you have a full seat on this pro team

Shay’s Team -- you have a viewer seat on this team only (it looks like this is your own created starter team)

Shay Shalman’s -- you have a viewer seat on this team only (it looks like this is your own created starter team)

 

From what it sounds like, you may not be working in the correct team. You may actually be working in one of your starter teams, but that’s not clear at the moment. Can you review this page to see what team you’re working in? https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039957674-View-and-join-teams#h_01K6NPZSQ7FS09XNMVEYH0NPXH
