Would be nice to limit this permission to developers only, while still allowing other roles to view files.


It is about time Figma improves the role and permissions management.

We need dev roles or more granular permission settings.

Hey @Luna_Kim, thanks for the feedback!


We’ll pass this onto our Dev mode team for consideration.


Agreed, I don’t want everybody can view, export and copy/duplicate design file. Just need export for dev only. Figma should improve role & permissions management ASAP


Hello ​@djv 
Do you have any updates from the Figma developers regarding this feature?

In our team, we use Figma, and our developer sometimes needs to export images or icons from the mockups. Unfortunately, he’s unable to do so because the copy and export functionality is disabled in our projects.

We intentionally disabled these options because we share the mockups with people who should only have view access, for confidentiality reasons.

However, the lack of an option to grant these rights only to a developer or a specific account is slowing down our development process.

Thank you in advance for your response 🙂
