If you use the svn+ssh:// access method, usually each Unix user would
be able to access the repository. But if you use the svn:// access
method, then you just write a text file that lists usernames and
passwords. These need not have any relation to your Unix system
accounts.

Subversion has no "special" users.
Presumably you have someone who administers your server, who has root
access. This person would "svnadmin create" the repository and "sudo
chown" it to make it owned by the svn Unix user you set up. That's
for svn:// access. If svn+ssh:// access, then you do it differently.
Read the Server Configuration section of the book for more on these
