YouTrack Permissions

Last modified: 09 October 2024

A permission is an authorization granted to a user to perform an action. Permissions are granted to a user within a role, but not directly.

A role is a set of permissions that defines the level of access for a user to particular functionality and operations.

All permissions are divided into two categories:

  • Global permissions are granted within YouTrack's global scope and do not depend on a specific project. For example, you can't grant permission to create users in a single project, you can do it only in the system-wide scope. Global permissions are marked with a global badge in the permissions list.

  • Per-project permissions allow actions related to a specific project. For example, a role with the Read Project Basic permission grants users and groups access to view project properties and content for a specific project. If these users don't have the Read Project Basic permission for other projects in YouTrack, they don't have access to them.

The permissions listed on this page grant access to work with the entities that are managed in YouTrack.
