Anyone can add "edit" permission - limit to admins across all plans

Every editor of a file currently can invite whoever they want to edit the file, which cost a lot, and is actually not necessary (for example - designers invite developers as editors).
I want to limit the permission to invite new editors - only to admins.

    Good news, everyone!

    You might have already noticed that we’ve recently updated Figma’s seats and billing experience. 

    • One of the updates, a request we’ve heard from you and other members of the community, relates to seat upgrade and approval flows
    • In summary, admins have now several seat approval settings to choose from:
      • Manually approve seats: All seat upgrade requests must be manually approved by an admin.
      • Manually approve, unless seat is available (default): People who request a paid seat are automatically granted one if it is available. A seat is available if it has been purchased in advance, but no one is assigned to it.
      • Auto-approve seats: All seat upgrade requests are automatically granted. If there are no seats available, a new seat will be purchased.

     

    I am curious to understand whether you’ve had the chance to explore these new settings. How are you feeling about it? Do they address the pain-points listed in this topic? / What challenges are you (still) facing?

    This solves one of the problems, but certainly not the fact that anyone with access to a file can invite someone to view it without administrator approval—even with an Organization license. This is truly, truly dangerous and inconceivable.
