Default Roles

Last modified: 12 June 2024

YouTrack provides a set of predefined default roles: System Admin, Project Admin, Contributor, Issue Creator, and Observer. For a comparison of the default permissions granted to default roles, see Permission Comparison for Default Roles.

You cannot delete the Project Admin, or Contributor roles. However, you can update the set of permissions that are assigned to these roles, change their names, and modify their descriptions.

If you want to create a custom set of permissions that are available to a group or user account, you can create new roles or edit predefined roles.
