Access Control

Access to whole repositories or branches can be configured using groups and users lists. This allows very granular access rights.

`svnadmin/svnaccess`

The access control list of the subversion repositories is located within the svn repository. The repository owner has read and write access by default and can modify the file svnadmin/svnaccess to grant access to other people. Each repository contains an example svnadmin/svnaccess file which can be changed:

[groups]
mygroup=myuser,myseconduser

[reponame:/folder]
@mygroup=rw
mythirduser=rw

[reponame:/secret]
myself = rw
myuser = r
* =

Delegation

A svnadmin folder containing a svnaccess file can be added anywhere in the tree to control access below. This allows the repository owner to delegate access rights management of a branch to another user or group of users.

Activation on Commit

During commit all svnaccess files are all parsed and aggregated and the commit is denied whenever a syntax error or a security problem is found.

Authentication

Authentication is done using the ETH user name and the ETH password for web applications.
