HI!
Well you've found your way to the right file, but the solution should be
this:
Standard the svnserve.conf file does not allow commits by anyone. If you
want anybody to be able to commit to the repository, you need to put in either:
auth-access = write
(for write access for authenticated users)
or
anon-access = write
(for write acces for non-authenticated users)
in the [general] section.
A description of what you can do to configure svnserve wrt authentication is
right above where you found the information on the format of the users file.
HTH,
Erik.
