I'm trying to find out some info on Subversion real quick here. I can't
believe I can't find this in the online book
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/svn-book.html . I must be going
blind. How do you assign roles and responsibilities and access to your
repositories of code? i.e. who can run what commands I guess in short.
Is this just restricted by the OS/SSH? i.e. if I forget to turn off
access to svadmin anyone can pretty much do anything? see how you can
authenticate to the server but once your in are you free to do what ever
unless the OS locks it down some how? Can anyone authenticated run the
svadmin or is that only allowed on the server via command line?
Found this in the book but does ont exacly answer it or does it? "Notice
that svnserve only understands "blanket" access control. A user either
has universal read/write access, universal read access, or no access.
There is no detailed control over access to specific paths within the
repository. For many projects and sites, this level of access control is
more than adequate. However, if you need per-directory access control,
you'll need to use either use Apache with mod_authz_svn (see the section
called "Per-Directory Access Control" <#svn-ch-6-sect-4.4.2>) or use a
pre-commit hook script to control write access (see the section called
"Hook Scripts" <#svn-ch-5-sect-2.1>)."
Thanks,
Frank
