Roles and access rights in Tracker

Yandex Tracker is a service that can be enabled for your organization in Yandex 360. The organization's administrator who enabled Tracker also becomes an administrator in Tracker.

In Tracker, you can manage access to specific elements and features of the service for users and user groups.

Managing access

User rights in Tracker are classified into two types:

  • Global level of access to Tracker:

    Administrators of Tracker and the Yandex 360 for Business organization can configure access for users and user groups. For more information, see Configuring access to Yandex Tracker.

  • Rights of access to individual elements of the Tracker structure:

    • Queue issues. The rights to create, view, and edit issues can be set up by the queue owner or another user permitted by the owner to edit the queue settings.

      You can set up access to issues in your queue for individual users, groups, and roles.

      • Access: Users listed in the Access field of an issue.
      • Follower: Users who subscribed to the issue.
      • Reporter: Person who created the issue.
      • Assignee: Person assigned to the issue.
      • Queue owner

      To limit access of users to specific issues inside the queue, you can use components.
