Supported permissions for importing and testing Figma prototypes
Last updated: April 19, 2026
Before importing your prototype, you need to correctly set your permissions in Figma in order to load the prototype.
The setting we recommend you set the file to is Anyone can view, but Maze supports other permissions settings, outlined in the table below.
If the wrong settings are applied, the import will fail. Updating these settings after import will prevent testers from opening the maze.
Figma sharing settings
- Open your Figma file.
- Click the Share button at the top right corner.
- Select Anyone can view.

Your Figma account (example@email.com) doesn't have access to this file. Make
sure your have access to the file.For instance, if your permissions are set to Anyone at company with the link can view or Anyone else with a prototype link can view prototypes and you’ve been given the link to the Figma file to import by someone that has access to the file, but your own Figma account doesn’t have access, you won’t be able to import the file.
However, once the file is imported, testers can run the test without issues.
