Plugin for viewers

Hello!
I ran into a problem that I could not find in your help. There is a Status Annotation plugin, it is very well for work’s control. I make a design for a client, and he’s could control the process with this plugin. But he’s a manager, not a designer. The client usually acts as a viewer, not an editor. This is done so that he cannot spoil anything in the design. But the viewers doesn’t have access to the plugin. Plugins can only be used by editors.

Could you make plugins available for viewers? It will be so usefull.

Thanks

We really need this update.
Some widgets are useless if they can’t be used by viewers. For example Navigate and Walkthrough

having viewer run plugins is great but i think it’s going to be better if it’s add this to Figma API by adding the permission to User Object so we can show/hide information, actions, and views based on it

+1! Please allow viewer to perform actions with widgets, we need engs to do some readonly actions from widgets.

As plugins for viewers are paywalled behind Dev Mode, I don’t think Figma team is going to answer this call with most upvotes in the community.

Just following this thread. We really need to give our stakeholders more options without allowing them to edit. It’s incredibly frustrating that they can’t interact and do simple things like this: polls, colour coding or assigning statuses to comments.

We really need a feature allowing viewers interact with plugins!!!
