folder permission in SVN

Question

I have problem in setup my SVN. My problem is due to permission issue I guess. I want to give below permission to my users.

I used below script for my permission:

[groups]
ROLE_ADMIN = Bab
ROLE_DEV = Fah, Fir

[/]
* = r
@ROLE_ADMIN = rw

[/Illustrate/branches]
* = rw

[/Illustrate/tags]
* = r
@ROLE_ADMIN = rw

[/Illustrate/trunk]
@ROLE_ADMIN = rw

Then I am tring to check these permissions by using TotoiseSVN. The problem is when I am going to Branches folder with my admin and developer user I cannot create any new folder.

Also I have same problem with admin user in tag and trunk folder. I receive below error.

TortoiseSVN

Access to '/svn/illustrate/!svn/txr/9-m/branches/Illustrate/testfolder' forbidden

OK

****Please note that when I replace my permission to

[/]
* = rw

I can create new folder. Would you mind help me to solve my problem?

Answer 1

In this situation Illustrate is the repo name. Instead of [/Illustrate/branches] use [Illustrate:/branches]. Try the following:

[groups]

ROLE_ADMIN = Bab

ROLE_DEV = Fah,Fir

[/]

@ROLE_ADMIN = rw

[Illustrate:/branches]

@ROLE_DEV = rw

@ROLE_ADMIN = rw

[Illustrate:/tags]

@ROLE_DEV = r

@ROLE_ADMIN = rw

[Illustrate:/trunk]

@ROLE_DEV = r

@ROLE_ADMIN = rw
