Requirements for software license: Figma

Figma is an essential tool for our design processes, enabling collaboration and innovation across our team. To streamline the access process while ensuring that all users can fully benefit from Figma's features, we've established clear guidelines for automatic approval. If you do not meet these criteria, don't worry; there are still pathways to gain access.

Requirements for Automatic Approval

To qualify for automatic access to Figma, employees must meet the following criteria:

1. Team Membership: You must be a part of the design team. Figma is a tool specifically tailored for design work, and as such, it's most beneficial to those directly involved in these processes.

2. Position: You need to hold a position of Director or above. This ensures that senior members with a broader scope of responsibilities have immediate access to the tools they need to oversee and contribute to design projects effectively.

3. Computer Specifications: Due to the resource-intensive nature of design software, your computer must meet certain specifications to run Figma smoothly. For Mac users, we recommend using a MacBook Pro from 2018 or newer with at least 8 GB of RAM and a Core i5 processor or better. This configuration provides sufficient performance for the majority of design tasks within Figma without significant lag or disruption.

What to Do If You Do Not Meet These Requirements

We understand that there are exceptional cases where employees outside the design team or below the Director level may require access to Figma for their projects. Furthermore, some team members may use computers that do not meet the specified requirements but still need to work with Figma.

If you find yourself in this situation, here's how you can still gain access to Figma:

• Submit a Ticket to the IT Team: Reach out to our IT support team by submitting a ticket through the internal helpdesk system. Please provide a brief explanation of why you need access to Figma and any relevant details about your project or role that supports your request.

or 

• Engage the IT Bot for Assistance: For a quicker interaction, you can use our IT bot available on the company's internal messaging platform. The bot will guide you through the process of requesting access and prompt you for any necessary information to evaluate your request.

In either case, our IT team will review your request promptly and work with you to ensure you have the tools you need. Remember, these guidelines are in place to facilitate a smooth and efficient workflow for everyone. Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated.

Should you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact our IT support team.
