Read only access

[engegu]

We are in the planning stages of a new design system project.

Our Source of truth will be style dictionary. From there we will generate a JSON file, maybe multiple, that we would like designers to have synced, read-only access to. What would be the easiest way to achieve this currently?

Also, what's the easiest way to link FT to an existing JSON file in a Github Repo or locally stored

Thanks in advance for any help @six7

To have a read-only sync you can use the URL sync feature: https://docs.tokens.studio/sync/url - you could add gitlab or github there and then provide credentials in the header field. Or use the GitHub sync and set your designers to Read access on the repository, the plugin is able to see that and only provide Read permissions

the json file should look something like this one: https://github.com/six7/figma-tokens-example/blob/ab707d557b04b7eac72e368a09eff9b397472bb0/tokens.json

hope this helps!
