Edit Basic Group Settings

Name

Stores the name of the group. The group name must be unique in the system and cannot duplicate the name of a project team.

Description

Stores a description for the group. Use to help other users who have Read Group or Update Group access understand the purpose of this group.

Logo

Stores an image used as the logo for the group. This helps distinguish between different groups in the Groups list.

It is also used to decorate avatars in user selection menus. This includes the selectors for issue and comment visibility, suggestions in @mentions and commands, watchers, and assignees. Add icons to groups to help you quickly distinguish between different sets of users.

Auto-join

Determines whether new users are added to this group automatically. Enable this option when you use this group to provide a standard level of access to all users.

Two-factor authentication

Determines whether members of the group are required to use two factors of authentication to log into YouTrack.

• When enabled, group members are required to set up two-factor authentication (2FA) for YouTrack. Access rights for members of this group who have not enabled 2FA are restricted to Update Self. Once a user has enabled 2FA, the access rights that are granted to their account are restored.

• When disabled, group members are not required to set up 2FA for YouTrack. Users may still choose to enable this security feature on their own.

For more information, see Require Two-factor Authentication.

Users who are granted the Update Group or Delete Group permission already have access to update all groups including this one, so they don't require this setting. Meanwhile, this setting provides more granular control for users without global access.
