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 for the Hub application 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 (/help/img/youtrack/7.0/iconGlobe.png) in the list of permissions.
  • Per-project permissions allow actions related to a specific project. Read Project or Read User Group are examples of such permissions.

The following permissions are used by the built-in Hub service to regulate access to administrative actions.
