YouTrack Server 2026.2 Help

Working with External Hub

YouTrack is always connected to a Hub service. The Hub service supports authentication, authorization, and user management.

In YouTrack Server versions 2024.1 and earlier, you had the option to use the Hub service that is built into YouTrack or install and run Hub as an external application. This configuration option has since been discontinued.

If you are working with an external Hub installation and would like to migrate to the built-in Hub service, see Migrate to a Built-in Hub Service for detailed instructions.

With an external Hub installation, several features that are otherwise accessible in YouTrack are displayed in the native Hub interface. These features include:

Access Management

Settings and controls for managing users, groups, roles, auth modules, and other authorization parameters are all delegated to the external Hub service. All the links to pages in the Access Management section of the Administration menu in YouTrack redirect to Hub.

Server Settings

Many of the settings that you would otherwise manage in the YouTrack interface are centrally managed for all applications in the external Hub service. The following links in the Server Settings section of the Administration menu in YouTrack redirect to pages in Hub:

The following item is removed from the Administration menu and is only accessible in the menu of the external Hub application.
