I had a joint project with some amazing uni students who had since gratuated and no longer have access to the address the project is under (so I cant email them and have no more contact). I have the url but i dont know how to access, there was a lot of work I just dont know how to recreate
Question
No longer have access to a joint project
Hey
Based on what you’ve described, I assume that the host team’s admin has disconnected the connected project. When a connected project is disconnected, ownership stays with the host team, and external collaborators lose access to all files within that project.
At the point of disconnection, the host admin is given a few options:
- Do nothing. The external team will lose access to the project once it is disconnected.
- Share a copy of the project. The host keeps the original project and sends a copy to the external team.
If a copy wasn’t shared at that time, unfortunately access can’t be restored from the external side alone, even if you still have the file URL. In these cases, the only way to regain access is through the host admin who owned the project.
You can find more details on how connected projects work in our Help Center article here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/30124855491863-Guide-to-connected-projects.
Hope this helps and please let me know if you have any further questions!
