I am outraged. How do you imagine I allow all my devs to be full-seats and give them the ability to edit designs? How about design ownership? In a day all devs lost their inspect tool, and the only way to get it back is to move to Org Plan or give them a full seat risking to get full chaos in design ownership. Any suggestions on how your teams ar planning to overcome this?

I’m actually sick to death of fixing accidental edits by developers. Fix this Figma.

Hei Figma, how might I see the list of users that I gave access to as developers, when they requested for “Dev mode”? They are all currently listed as having a Full Design seat. Is this what this is? A full design seat, as in they can edit all of the design files? Please separate these 2 roles as they are not identical.

Please Figma Team! Remove the edit rights from Dev Mode Seats on Professional Plan! That would make this bizarre world of today just a tiny bit better!

I have 4 designers on my team, and there are over 10 Engineers who need access to dev mode but I can’t do this without giving them all full design seats on a Professional plan. I have a limited budget for design tools that this is exceeding by a large margin. Additionally, this allows a level of access that neither the design nor engineering team wants or needs. Not sure why this was approved as the way to enable this for Professional plans. You’re charging per seat anyway, just charge for a Dev. Mode seat.

+1 - Our devs need dev access but do not and SHOULD not get editing access (too easy to make changes by mistake!)

When will this get fixed?

+1 Not only is this killing us as a startup needing to pay for extra edit seats, that the developers don’t need, it also opens up accidental edits that need constant fixing. Need to separate Edit access and Dev Mode access. It makes zero sense to punish the Pro plan mid tier in this way as that tier are no doubt those with the limited budget and in scale mode.
