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.

+1 to this! Would be a very helpful feature so we can show clients a mockup without giving them access to our entire project.

Hey!

A good option would be to make the entire list of pages visible on the left, but some pages would be in a disabled state (for example, gray and with a lock icon) for everyone except the editors of the file and so that it would be configurable in the menu by right-clicking on the page where there is functionality: copy link to page, rename page, duplicate page, delete page.

Thanks!

I would love that feature for clients. I want to give clients access to a specific page with the deliverables, I don’t want them to see all the work in progress, experiments, and assets which can be a lot and quite messy so it would be confusing to them and may also make an impression of being unprofessional/unorganized because not every client understands that it is a necessary part of design work.

Mind blowing that simple features like these not already exist…
There has to be a feature for Devs to see only the ready screens and nothing else…in large organizations the risk of a Dev using a different, not ready screen, is very high.

We need to be able to create shareable collections/folders where we can add different frames/sections/components/etc… and Devs should only be able to see the single items in the folder without being able to move across the whole file.

How is this topic from Jan '21 but not implemented yet…

Designing systems that empower gripping experiences at scale.

Still, I am waiting for this option.

Would love this as an option. Often need to hide WIP pages.
