A person with owner permission on a Figma file left the company and I, as an administrator, cannot delete that person’s account. How can I delete this person’s Figma account?
Hi there,
Unfortunately, this is not possible to delete this person’s account. As a workaround, you can duplicate the file to work on that specific file (so that, this person won’t be in the new file).
Wouldn’t this be a security flaw? Since I am the administrator of the accounts and I can’t delete the person’s profile, they will continue to have access to the file even after they have left the company.
Thanks for additional details! Just for clarifying, account can only be deleted by the account owner. (i.e. they have access to the email and password login credentials and can initiate the deletion manually from account settings. You can have more information here: Delete your Figma account)
As a workaround, you can remove this person from the team where the file is locate on your plan so that this person won’t have access to the file even if the person is the file’s owner. (Removing someone from the team = revoking access to anything that’s in the team, even if the resource in the team is owned by someone who is being removed)
To remove access to the team, you can follow the steps in this article:
Hope this clarifies!
