YouTrack user accounts are managed in the JetBrains Hub service. This service handles login requests and allows access to features based on the permissions that are granted to each user account. The Hub service can either be built into YouTrack or managed externally.

The first item that you see on your YouTrack profile page is a link to your Hub Profile. This link opens your user profile page in Hub, where you can update your profile and contact data. For more information, see Hub Profile.
