Give unique access to specific pages

Hello 👋

First, I’m happy about the opportunity where I can make an impact on this amazing product.

My idea is pretty simple but can make a huge difference in the way we share files with stakeholders and colleagues. I suggest adding the ability to give different access (viewer/editor) for pages within a Figma file.

Because in most cases, we’re trying to include a whole project, feature, or function, whether small or big, in one Figma file - it becomes a real pain-point if the lowest level of grant permissions it’s the file itself instead of the pages within the file.

I’m sure a lot in this community can agree with me that many times you gave people access - it was relevant to certain areas of the file, and less to other areas.

  • I want to give content writers access to a specific page where they can edit and review content.
  • I want to give developers access to a specific page where they can play with responsive layers and explore edge-cases.
  • I want to leave experiments (Some would call it a playground, sandbox 😃) and previous versions to myself, to avoid background noises from the rest

The current situation is that I give everyone viewers access, each one of them looking for his relevant place among the information load and I avoid giving an editor access to prevent touching what they should not touch by mistake 🙄

What do you think about it?
Of course, feel free to vote if you agree with the idea.

@Lishay
I tried to share a specific page as well as specific frames and tried to open the link, and it shows only the page or frame I shared!
It’s working just fine.

I got the problem at first but…
I tried to open the link on the different browser where my login ID of figma is not saved.

I agree, I have to keep exporting my figma page as a graphic and importing to another app to gather feedback from the Customer whilst allowing Devs to access all pages of my Figma file which isn’t good.

Me too. I guess if we all tag them on LinkedIn, Twitter, and reddit… maybe we’ll get their attention. 🤖

Honestly! This would help a lot

how is this not a thing yet? I can’t give outside parties access to everything.

I want to give my clients access to download assets like images from my Figma documents and at the same time restrict them from duplicating my original Figma file as this will give them access to privileged knowledge, something that took me years to have. Why not have checkboxes on the “Allow viewers to” panel with the:

  1. Copy
  2. Share
  3. Export
    so that I can choose what the client can have access to.
    Currently, once I check that option, it’s like the client has bought a Coke and they are also given the secret recipe as well, which isn’t fair/doesn’t protect me as a designer.
    I would like to keep my original work / keep my rights to my work while giving them access to the files they need to develop their product.
