Sign In via Figma(SP initiated SSO)
- Create Users- Creating a user in Okta will automatically create a user in Figma, that is assigned to your Organization. Any users created via this process will have their Okta email validated automatically.
- Update Users- This allows any changes made to the user in Okta, (e.g. updating their name or the email address) to be applied to the corresponding user account in Figma.
- Deactivate Users- If a user is unassigned in Okta, this will automatically deactivate their account in Figma. Deactivating a user will automatically logout the user and remove them from the organization, including any related files, projects or teams. Any drafts related to that user's account will also be made accessible to the Organization's admin (under the Shared Folders section). Tip: If the user would like to use the same email address for a personal account, they will be required to reset their password before they can create a new account with that address. They will no longer have the access to any of the Organization's Files, including any Drafts on their company account.
- Reactivate Users- When a user is re-assigned in Okta, this will automatically add them back to the Organization's account in Figma. They'll be prompted to log back in (using SSO, if required). Any previous file, project, or team roles must be restored manually.

- Soft Grid: This involves placing objects at distances from each other that are divisible by 8. This would involve applying a Row and/or Column Layout Grid with properties divisible by 8.
