Text-only editing rights for non-designers

[dominik.k]

As a UX designer, I work with a lot of product owners who (especially towards the end of a project) often only wish for minor text changes in the designs.

Since even small tasks take up time, it would be beneficial for both sides if the product owners could implement text changes themselves.

Based on the current role distribution in Figma, I cannot grant users “text-only” editing rights, which means there is always a risk that colleagues could inadvertently alter or destroy the design.

I’ll be closing this topic now since it’s a duplicate/merge, but feel free to add more feedback to the other one or create a new topic!

Copywriter Text-Editor Only Permission

Hi I suggest that Figma includes a “Copywriter” permission level, allowing designers to grant edit access to copywriters for text editing only, preventing displacement of elements. This would enhance collaboration between designers and copywriters, who play a vital role on product teams.
