How many people can I access?

How many people can I access?

We are using SVN. However, it is said that it is impossible to add due to the limit of the number of accessible users.

How many accounts can I connect to SVN?

Thank you.

This seems to be a question that might be more appropriate for Subversion, rather than the TortoiseSVN subversion client application.

The answer is likely to depend on the scale that you are attempting to support. I administer a system of 10's of users with no problem. When reading through the Subversion documentation, I don't recall any limits on the number of users. However, if you are attempting to setup a system with thousands or millions of users then you are likely to encounter issues that affect all signifcant systems that are nothing to do with the nature of source code control tool. For example, hardware and network capability and performance. Other factors will also be relevant such as the size of the hosted repositories and user management and authentication. These factors will be relevant for any source control tool that you select.

Some quick web searches suggest that there are still some significant open source projects that use Subversion. However, while this might confirm that the Subversion server can handle significant anonymous read-only access the number of defined users with read/write access is likely to be much smaller.

If you raise a query with the Subversion team, you might wish to add some details about your use case. For example, the number of users, respository sizes, and expected host operating system.

Hope this helps.

10 user limit.

That's the answer I want. And detailed explanation.

thank you very much.

Have a nice day.

>> 10 user limit.

I noted that there has been a deleted message in this thread, so perhaps this comment was a response to that message. I trust that you did not conclude a user limit of 10 from my message as that is not correct. I stated that I administered a system of "10's of users" - the actual number is 40+. Clearly there is not a limit of 10. Indeed my specific usage is no reflection of the limits of Subversion. My message was intended to indicate that Subversion would be likely to scale to a large number of users and that Subversion was unlikely to be the constraining element for user limits.

I just wanted to be clear that my message does not suggest a 10 user limit.

As previously suggested, the support forums for Subversion are likely to be a more suitable location for you query.

Hope this helps.

I have 300+ users daily with no issues, we have had to make some adjustments to apache but svn has held up without issue.
