YouTrack Standalone 2018.2 Help

Hub Permissions

A permission is an authorization granted to a user to perform particular operations. Permissions are granted to a user within a role, but not directly.

A role is a set of permissions which defines the level of access for a user to particular functionality and operations.

Permissions that let users perform administrative operations in YouTrack are provided by the Hub service. Permissions for the Hub service are divided in two categories:

  • Global permissions are granted at the global scope and do not depend on a specific project. For example, you cannot grant permission to create user accounts in a single project, you can do it only in the system-wide scope. Global permissions are marked with the globe icon (iconGlobe) in the list of permissions.

  • Per-project permissions allow actions related to a specific project. For example, a role with the Read Project Basic permission grants users and groups access to view project properties and content for a specific project. If these users don't have the Read Project Basic permission for other projects in YouTrack, they don't have access to them.
