3 Ways to Remove Users from Your Figma Account

Keeping your Figma workspace tidy isn’t just about filing projects. It’s also about making sure only the right people can open them. When contractors wrap up or teammates move on, they should lose access fast.

Below, you’ll learn three straightforward ways to remove users, from kicking them out of individual files to revoking organization-wide seats. Pick the approach that matches your plan and keep collaboration secure.

Use Figma’s UI

Removing someone from a Figma org takes about a minute once you know the right clicks. Here’s the quickest path in Figma.

1. Open Admin settings

• Sign in.
• Click your avatar in the top-right corner.
• Choose Admin settings from the dropdown.

2. Go to the Users tab

• In the left sidebar, choose **Users.**

The full member list loads.

3. Find the person

• Scroll or use the search bar at the top to locate the user.

If you plan to remove more than one, you can select several names at once.

4. Select the user

• Check the box that appears when you hover over their row.

A toolbar pops up above the table.

5. Remove from the organization

• Click Remove from org in the toolbar.
• A confirmation window appears. Read the note about file ownership; Figma automatically reassigns ownership to you or another admin.
• Hit Remove to finish.

The seat opens immediately, and the user loses access to every team, project, and file in this org.

Use Torii

Manually stripping accounts from Figma quickly grows tedious and error-prone. Torii, a SaaS management platform, lets teams handle removals in the same dashboard that tracks every other subscription, so onboarding, offboarding, and license checks happen in one place.

Because Torii supports automation, each removal runs when a predefined trigger fires, such as a new hire, a departure, or a contract renewal, cutting the effort required for repeat tasks.

To remove a user in Figma straight from Torii, follow these steps:

1. Sign up for Torii

Contact Torii, and request your complimentary two-week proof-of-concept.

2. Connect your Figma account to Torii

Once your Torii environment is active, link your existing Figma workspace to it. Here are the instructions for the Figma integration.

3. Create a Torii workflow for Figma

Within Torii, build an automated workflow that removes the user in Figma. Open the Workflows tab, define a trigger, and add the action that strips the user from Figma. After that, every time the trigger fires, the workspace updates without manual work.

Use Figma’s API

Below is the straight-to-the-point way to delete a teammate from your Figma organization with the SCIM 2.0 API.

1. Grab an admin SCIM token

• Head to Admin Settings to create a Personal Access Token that includes the scim scope.
• Keep the token handy; you’ll pass it as a bearer token in every call.

export FIGMA_SCIM_TOKEN="your_scim_token_here"

2. Find the user’s SCIM ID

SCIM uses its own IDs, not email addresses, so you first have to look up the user:

curl -X GET \
"https://api.figma.com/scim/v2/Users?filter=userName%20eq%20\"[email protected]\" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $FIGMA_SCIM_TOKEN"

• The response shows an array called Resources.
• Copy the value in id.

3. Delete the user

In the next call, replace {id} with the value you copied, and the API will remove that specific account:

curl -X DELETE \
"https://api.figma.com/scim/v2/Users/{id}" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $FIGMA_SCIM_TOKEN"

A successful call returns HTTP 204 No Content.

4. Confirm they’re gone

Run that same GET request you used in step two to confirm removal. If the user was deleted, the API responds with an empty Resources array, which serves as confirmation.

With those steps done, your teammate has been removed without opening the Figma UI, freeing up a seat immediately.
