This section of the documentation describes the various aspects of managing user access rights in YouTrack. If your YouTrack Server installation is linked to an external Hub service, user access is managed directly in Hub.
The set of available options for managing access through Hub will include options for managing access in connected services, like TeamCity. For more information, please refer to the Hub documentation.
The Access Management section of the Administration menu links to pages that let you manage access to YouTrack. To access these links, click Administration in the main navigation menu, then select Access Management.
User access in YouTrack is defined on a per-project basis by the roles that are assigned to a user. A role is a set of permissions, which in their turn allow users to perform particular operations in YouTrack. Please note that permissions are only granted by assigning roles, and not directly.
