I'm trying to restrict the access to my subversion repositories to certain users. However I can't get it to work the way I want.
I have three repositories. Let's call them repo1, repo2 and repo3. I also have three users. user1, user2 and user3.
What I want is that all the users to read/write to repo1 and only user1 read/write repo2 and repo3. I don't want user2 and 3 to be able to read repo2 and repo3. Now I thought that the following configuration should work:
[groups]
group1 = user1, user2, user3
[/repo1]
@group1 = rw
[/repo2]
@group1 =
user1 = rw
[/repo3]
@group1 =
user1 = rw
[/]
* = r
However, with this configuration user2 and user3 can still access all repo's and none of the users is allowed to commit/change any files.
Can anyone tell me what I do wrong?
Thanks to the correct answer I've got it working. Might be useful for other users.
[groups]
group1 = user1, user2, user3
[repo1:/]
@group1 = rw
[repo2:/]
user1 = rw
[repo3:/]
user1 = rw
Definition of repo in sections
From SVN Book
If you're using the SVNParentPath directive, it's important to specify the repository names in your sections. If you omit them, a section such as
[/some/dir]will match the path/some/dirin every repository.
Section format is well documented:
the value of the section names is either of the form
[repos-name:path]or of the form[path]
I.e your [/repoN] define path /repoN inside every and each repo, not repository. Use [repoN:/] for appropriate repository's root
