Transfer ownership of published Community plugin
Conversation History:
[Agent] Hi! I'm Figma's AI Support Agent.
Ask me a question. I'll help you solve it or get you to the right place.
[(redacted by the moderator due to PII)] Community plugins, widgets, and files
[Agent] The Figma Community offers three main types of extensions:
• **Plugins** are third-party scripts that extend Figma's functionality in Design, Dev Mode, FigJam, and Slides — they're only visible to the person who ran them Source.
• **Widgets** are custom objects you can add to the canvas or a FigJam board that everyone in the file can see and interact with.
• **Apps** let you interact with Figma files and content on other platforms.
Community files include design resources like UI kits, wireframes, website templates, whiteboarding templates, and slide deck templates that you can duplicate and use. You need a Figma account to use plugins, widgets, or duplicate Community files, and a Community profile to follow profiles or add comments.
Is there a specific type of Community resource you'd like to learn more about?
[(redacted by the moderator due to PII)] transfer ownership of the plugin
[Agent] There are a few different ownership transfer scenarios depending on the type of plugin:
• For **private organization plugins**, an owner or org admin can transfer ownership directly from the **Manage permissions** modal in the Figma desktop app by changing a publisher's role to **Owner** Source.
• For **selling the source code and ownership** of a published Community plugin, both buyer and seller need to submit a request through the contact form, selecting **Community plugins, widgets, and files** and **Using or buying a resource** Source.
• For **internal generative plugins** where the original publisher has left the organization, you'll need to reach out to Figma Support to facilitate the transfer Source.
Note that ownership of paid plugins cannot be transferred.
Which type of plugin are you looking to transfer?
[(redacted by the moderator due to PII)] this plugin https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1496477931536811576/yet-another-design-linter from my work figma account @jonatanbjerreka to my personal account https://www.figma.com/@jonatanbjerrek1
[Agent] Since this is a published Community plugin (not a private organization plugin), transferring ownership requires both the current and receiving account to submit a request through the contact form. You'll need to select **Community plugins, widgets, and files** and **Using or buying a resource** from the dropdowns, then provide the plugin URL and both account details in the **Description** box Source.
Both accounts need to confirm: the current owner authorizes the transfer, and the receiving account agrees to abide by Figma's Terms of Service. Once the process is complete, the Support team transfers ownership between the parties.
Would you like me to help you get started with submitting that request?
