YouTrack Cloud 2024.3 Help

Manage User Accounts for Agents

The number of active agents along with standard users affect the price of the YouTrack license. In this article, we describe how you can manage agent users in YouTrack.

When you purchase a YouTrack license, you decide how many agent and standard user licenses you need. Each registered user with full access to YouTrack features needs a standard user license. In addition to a standard user license, every agent user needs an agent license to be able to communicate with external helpdesk users.

View Agents

On the Users page, you can view the list of all agents in YouTrack.

To view the list of agents:

  1. From the Administration menu, select Users.

  2. Deselect the Standard users and Reporters options so that only the Agents option remains selected.
