Onboard YouTrack ↗

SaaS Security connects to the YouTrack API using a permanent token that you generate from a YouTrack administrator account. After connecting, SaaS Security scans your YouTrack instance for misconfigured settings.

Onboarding consists of two tasks:

  1. Collect the instance name and generate a permanent token
  2. Connect SaaS Security to YouTrack

The onboarding process requires the following credentials:

Item Description
Instance Name The unique subdomain that identifies your organization's YouTrack instance, as shown in your YouTrack URL: <instance-name>.youtrack.cloud.
Permanent Token A token generated from a YouTrack administrator account assigned to the System Admin role. The token must be scoped to YouTrack and YouTrack Administration.

Task 1 — Collect Information for Accessing Your YouTrack Instance

Step 1 — Identify your YouTrack instance name

Open a browser and go to your YouTrack login page. Your instance name is the subdomain shown in the URL: <instance-name>.youtrack.cloud.

Note: Record your instance name before proceeding. You must provide it during onboarding.

Step 2 — Generate a permanent token
