SVN Server User Management

To create subversion users, you have to right-click on Users in the left panel of the VisualSVN Server Manager. Then you have to click on the User Create option. A new window will be opened where you have to enter a user name, and password, and confirm the password.

The windows are shown below.

You can create multiple users as we have shown some dummy users in the following figure.

SVN Server Group Management

After creating a set of subversion users, you can create some groups of the users based on their roles. A user can be a member of multiple groups. Different types of permissions can be granted to individual users or to groups. If permission is granted for a group, all the members of the group will get that permission.

Basically, access control can be managed with lesser effort if groups are created.

To create a group, you have to right-click on Groups in the left panel of the VisualSVN Server Manager. Then you have to click on New Group. A new window will appear, where you have to enter a group name. You can add members of the group at this time by clicking on Add button. You can also update this later at any time.

The steps are shown in the following figures.

Finally, we are ready to use the SVN server from our client system. Read the next tutorial to Work with Subversion Project.
