YouTrack Cloud 2026.1 Help

Roles

A role in YouTrack is a container for a set of permissions. Roles are assigned to users and groups on a per-project basis. Users and groups can also inherit roles based on their assignment to a project team.

To access the list of roles in YouTrack, select Roles from the Access Management section of the Administration menu.

Roles list

The Roles page features a search box that lets you filter the list. YouTrack supports the following attributes in search queries that are applied as a filter on the Roles page.

Attribute

Description

Name

Returns the role with the selected name.

Permission

Returns roles that contain the selected permission.

To apply a filter, start typing in the search box. YouTrack will suggest available attributes that match your input as you type. When you select an attribute, YouTrack automatically inserts a search operator and suggests possible values. From there, you have the following options:

  • Enter the value or values you want to filter for.

  • Click the icon to remove a parameter.

The topics in this section of the documentation explain how to perform a variety of actions related to roles in YouTrack.
