Issues with Dev Mode Access for Frontend Team

Our team is currently experiencing an issue with accessing Figma’s Dev Mode. We have a situation where our frontend team needs to check design properties such as padding, margin, and spacing. However, they are encountering a restriction that requires full permissions for Dev Mode access, even though they only need to view these properties and not make any edits.

Given that we are on a $15 plan, we expected that our frontend team could access Dev Mode for property inspection without requiring additional permissions. Could anyone provide guidance on:

  1. Why Dev Mode access is restricted to users with full permissions, even for property checking?
  2. If there is an alternative way for our frontend team to view these design properties without needing full edit permissions?
  3. Are there any settings or adjustments we can make to facilitate this process?

Your assistance and insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hey @ranju1, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the trouble!

Any users with view only access can still view design properties without a Dev Mode access.
