Private and Public Projects

Last modified: 09 October 2024

YouTrack supports both private and public projects.

  • In a private project, access is restricted to a limited set of users and groups. You can hide a private project from all other users in the system.

  • In a public project, issues are visible to anonymous users over the internet.

The visibility for a project is affected by the status of the guest user account. By default, the guest account is banned. This means that all of your projects are private.

If you want to expose a project to the public and let users browse issues anonymously, an administrator must unban the guest account and grant it access to issues on a per-project basis. For details, see Manage the Guest User Account.
