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.
You create and manage roles on the 
Administration > Roles page in YouTrack.

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

Supported sub-queries
Sub-query | Description |

For example, to find roles that contain permission to create groups in the YouTrack Administration service, enter the following query on the Roles page: permission(key: {jetbrains.jetpass.group-create}, service: {YouTrack Administration}) Note that each part of the permission key is indexed separately, so you can see relevant suggestions just by typing the name of the entity that the permission relates to. |
