Integrate with Figma

Give your users convenient but secure Single Sign On (SSO) access to Figma using their JumpCloud credentials with the SSO integration. Automatically provision, update and deprovision users and groups in Figma from JumpCloud using the Identity Management (SCIM) integration. Leverage this integration to allow users to login with with one set of credentials and to centralize user lifecycle, user identity, and group management in JumpCloud for Figma. Save time and cost related to user account and password management. Avoid mistakes, as well as potential security risks, related to manually creating users and groups.

Read this article to learn how to setup the Figma integration.

Prerequisites

Important Considerations

  • It is not possible to assign permissions in Figma from JumpCloud. Figma will add provisioned users to your Organization as viewers.
  • When you have SCIM set up, you can choose which of the advanced attributes you want to access in Figma.
  • You need to decide if logging in via SAML SSO is mandatory, or if users can still login via email address and password. Learn about Figma authentication options.
  • The sync will occur in real-time whenever changes are made to users and/or groups in JumpCloud.
  • JumpCloud cannot take over management of user accounts created directly in Figma There is currently no option for converting these users to JumpCloud SCIM managed users.  Those accounts will need to continue to be managed manually or delete and recreated using the SCIM integration.
  • Groups are supported. 

Attribute Considerations

  • A default set of attributes are managed for users. See the Attribute Mappings section for more details.

Group Management Considerations

Enabling Group Management

You must select the Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this application option to manage groups and group membership in the application from JumpCloud.

Group Provisioning and Syncing 
  • Empty groups are not created
  • JumpCloud takes over management of existing groups in the application when the user group name in JumpCloud matches the name of the group in the application
  • All user groups associated with the application in JumpCloud are synced. Syncing occurs whenever there is a membership or group change event
  • Group renaming is supported
  • If a user group is disassociated from the application in JumpCloud, syncing immediately stops and the group is left as-is in the application. All members of that user group are deactivated in the application unless they are associated with another active application group that is managed from JumpCloud
Group Deletion
  • Managed groups deleted in JumpCloud are deleted in the application
  • All members of the deleted group are deactivated in the application, unless they are associated with another active application group that is managed from JumpCloud
Disabling Group Management
  • You can disable group and group membership management by unchecking the Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this application option
  • The managed groups and group membership are left as-is in the application
  • JumpCloud stops sending group membership information for the user, but the user’s identity will continue to be managed from JumpCloud

Creating a new JumpCloud Application Integration

  1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
  2. Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
  3. Click + Add New Application.
  4. Type the name of the application in the Search field and select it.
  5. Click Next.
  6. In the Display Label, type your name for the application. Optionally, you can enter a Description, adjust the User Portal Image and choose to hide or Show in User Portal.

Note:

If this is a Bookmark Application, enter your sign-in URL in the Bookmark URL field.

  1. Optionally, expand Advanced Settings to specify a value for the SSO IdP URL. If no value is entered, it will default to https://sso.jumpcloud.com/saml2/<applicationname>.

Warning:

The SSO IdP URL is not editable after the application is created. You will have to delete and recreate the connector if you need to edit this field at a later time.

  1. Click Save Application.
  2. If successful, click:
    • Configure Application and go to the next section
    • Close to configure your new application at a later time

Configuring the SSO integration

To configure JumpCloud Part 1

  1. Create a new application or select it from the Configured Applications list.
  2. Select the SSO tab.
  3. In the field terminating the IdP URL, either leave the default value or enter a plaintext string unique to this connector.
  4. Note the IdP Entity Id and IdP URL values. You will need these values when configuring Figma.
  5. Select activate then continue.
  6. Click Download certificate from the slide out notification.

Tip:

The certificate.pem file will download to your local Downloads folder.

To configure Figma

Note:

Read Figma’s Set up a custom SAML configuration article before you start.

  1. Open Figma and select Admin settings in the sidebar.
  2. Select Settings at the top of the screen.
  3. In the Log in and provisioning section, click SAML SSO.
  4. Figma will generate the information you need to complete the process with your identity provider. Find this in the Your configuration details are section.
  5. In the Identity provider section, select Other.
  6. Enter the details from your identity provider:
    1. IdP Entity ID
    2. IdP SSO Target URL (IDP URL)
  7. Upload your Signing certificate and click Review.
  8. Check the box to confirm This information is correct... and click Configure SAML SSO.
  9. Note the The SP Entity ID and SP ACS URL values. You will need these values to complete the configuration in JumpCloud.

To configure JumpCloud Part 2

  1. Access the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
  2. Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
  3. Find Figma in the application list on the SSO page and click anywhere in the row to reopen the application configuration panel.
  4. Select the SSO tab and update the SP Entity ID and ACS URL values with the values you noted in the previous section. 
  5. Click save.

Authorizing User SSO Access

Users are implicitly denied access to applications. After you connect an application to JumpCloud, you need to authorize user access to that application. You can authorize user access from the Application Configuration panel or from the Groups Configuration panel. 

To authorize user access from the Application Configuration panel

  1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
  2. Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications, then select the application to which you want to authorize user access.
  3. Select the User Groups tab. If you need to create a new group of users, see Get Started: User Groups.
  4. Select the check box next to the group of users you want to give access.
  5. Click save. 

To learn how to authorize user access from the Groups Configuration panel, see Authorize Users to an SSO Application.

Validating SSO user authentication workflow(s)

IdP-initiated user workflow

  • Access the JumpCloud User Console
  • Go to Applications and click an application tile to launch it
  • JumpCloud asserts the user's identity to the SP and is authenticated without the user having to log in to the application

SP-initiated user workflow

  • Go to the SP application login - generally, there is either a special link or an adaptive username field that detects the user is authenticated through SSO

Note:

This varies by SP.

  • Login redirects the user to JumpCloud where the user enters their JumpCloud credentials
  • After the user is logged in successfully, they are redirected back to the SP and automatically logged in
