Allow for guest collaborators

• 1: wanted to use figjam for one off white-boarding with company on culture but would want to do this with guests / anonymous

+1 currently we have to grant guests edit permissions which leads to issues like they being able to share a FigJam-Board with the community. This can lead to serious information security issues.

It would be highly appreciated to have some sort of workshop participant rule, which can contribute (e.g. use all the features in the bottom tool bar in FigJam like sticky notes), but cannot share the board.

However, the users should not be anonymous.

I work for BT Group (British Telecommunications) and not being able to add external partners/clients guest access to FigJam, who are not designers but decision-makers within large corporations is a major blocker for us.

We are on Figma Organisation plan and the guest access for FigJam just to participate in workshops is a major issue, especially when I’m trying to get BT to buy into FigJam (Which I personally prefer using) and move away from Mural & Miro.

Are there any current plans to implement guest passes without login for outside collaborators?

Collaborators for Jams is critical - I’ve to keep re-opening jam files so that team collaborators can add comments or respond to the topic of the jam.

To be clear those team members aren’t editing the Jam just needing answering questions outside of the 24 hour window. Not a huge fan of the timed window because there’s always someone who wants or needs to respond outside that window.

We are trying to use those Jams as shared singular points of reference for some collaborative efforts.

Ideally we should have an option to set as guest user with some basic contributor style permissions - add text comments stick notes etc

Lastly most of my time on the admin side is addressing this issue. Having said all that we are really loving it as a white boarding tool.

Are there any updates on this? This is a critical feature – how do folks deal with design candidates during a design hiring process and provisioning access to Figma / FigJam to them without them becoming a part of the org and paying a monthly fee for their access?

Still waiting for this to happen. I had used FigJam before, but quit my subscription and went with Miro and Markup instead because of the guest collaborator issue.

I’m a freelancer and I need my clients to be able to collaborate on projects. Right now I am throwing money at two other companies but I would love to use Figma and FigJam exclusively. I would even be willing to pay more than 3 bucks for a single seat. Because guest collaboration would add SO MUCH VALUE to my workflow.

Just bumping this thread because the fact that this isn’t available has caused me to immediately decide against using FigJam for my purposes. The whole point of the whiteboard I want to make is to allow students to anonymously post questions and responses to the space. This was something I could do easily with Google JamBoard.

This needs more votes. It is definitely a must-have for a collaborative board. I want stakeholders to join and collaborate for 1 hour, without asking them to pay an account. It is something Miro and Mural allow to do, even Google Jamboard.

@Mario_Badilla definitely agree this needs more votes! I am wondering if we need to increase visibility of this among Figma and FigJam users outside of this forum? Not everyone ends up visiting here I suppose.

If anyone reading this is keen to fastrack visibility of this feature request, I have started a post here to share with your networks:

Not sure if it is a niche issue for just a handful of us or something that is a genuine blocker for other Figma users as well - but only way to find out is to plug the request in multiple places and see what traction happens~!
