Restricting user access in Tortoise SVn

[Gaurav Negi]

Dear Friends,
I am new to SVN. So pardon my ignorance if my question looks stupid.

In our environment, we use tortoise SVN via https.
However SVN server is on Linux.

I want to restrict a particular user (say user1) to access only a particular task branch (task1). My goal is user1 shoul dbe able to see code and write code to only task1, but not any other branch.

I did following in confg/authz file

[repo:/branches]
user1 =

[branch:/tasks/task1]
user1 = rw

It is however not working for me.

Any idea? What can I do to fix the same?

Every question looks little stupid if you know answer :)

This question is about server so you should adress it to svn list. This
is client mailing list.

Does Authentification (asking user name and password) on https works for
you?
If is doesn't you need set https server (Apache?). Send relevant config
snipset.

my is:


<Location /svn>
SSLRequireSSL
DAV svn
SVNParentPath <location>
<other SVN params>
AuthzSVNAccessFile /srv/svn/.svnaccess

<ldap authentification config elements>
</Location>


Then you can set Authorisation (access) for certain user and location.
Also relevant part of repo config is needed.

I use .svnaccess file, but I never try it to limit access.

TSVN is a client, your question is related to the server setup, as the
server checks and enforces permissions. You should ask this on the
Subversion mailinglist (us...@subversion.apache.org) instead.

Good luck!

This doesn't look right...

repo:

and

branch:

indicate the repository name... So your second declaration should probably be:

[repo:/branches/tasks/task1]
user1 = rw
