Subversion : Set Access Permission2024/07/24

 

Set Access Permission on SVN repositories. It requires [svnserve] is running.
This setting is not effective to the case you access via [http://] or [file://].

[1] For example, Set Access Permission to [/var/svn/repos/project] repository.
root@dlp:~#
vi /var/svn/repos/project/conf/svnserve.conf
# line 9 : add (prohibit anonymous access)

[general]
anon-access = none
# line 28 : uncomment

password-db = passwd
# line 37 : uncomment

authz-db = authz
root@dlp:~#
vi /var/svn/repos/project/conf/passwd
# set username and password for this repository

[users]
ubuntu = password
noble = password
debian = password
root@dlp:~#
vi /var/svn/repos/project/conf/authz
# set groups and users

[groups]
developer = ubuntu,noble
# allow read/write on SVN document-root for developer group

[/]
@developer = rw
# allow read on [trunk] folder for debian user

[/trunk]
debian = r
