Personally I had some issues with using [groups] that I unfotunately did not have time to resolve. I suggest that you start by using the usernames (dev1 etc) directly in the authz file to test: Also, I think that [svnrepo/sandbox:/] is wrong. I would only ever expect to see one name before the slash (a specific repo in a parentpath setup) then the path within the repo comes after the ":/". [sandbox:/] dev1 = rw dev2 = rw dev3 = r If you only have one repo / are not using parentpath then you can just set the default global access level: [/] dev1 = rw dev2 = rw dev3 = r Are you using parentpath in your setup? Unless your client is 1.6.11+, you need to grant read access to the root (you do seem to be doing that, just thought it worth mentioning). Finally, a link to path-based authorisation in the nightly red book: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz.h tml ~ mark c > svnserve.conf file: > [general] > anon-access=none > auth-access=write > > password-db=passwd > > authz-db=authz >
