Multiple user acces to subversion

colinj

I think I may have screwed up here and need help to unscrew it!
I am trying to setup subversion so that multiple users can access the same repo using svn+ssh.
ssh keys are setup and that's working fine.
Then I started messing with setfacl so userB could make changes to svn owned by userA.
I did this: setfacl -R -m u:userB:rwx path-to-subversion
Then I committed a change to the repo as userB - that seemed to work OK
But now I notice the changes are owned by userB and userA can't access them!
My attempts to use chown to get the owner to what it should be all failed.
Help!
How do I get out of this mess?

colinj if you need something chown'd please contact support.

To avoid the problem in the future set a default ACL for each user who will access the repo, eg setfacl -R -m d:u:userB:rwx path-to-subversion

I don't understand this default bit - what default does it set?
If I want the owner to always be userA how do I achieve that?
setfacl -R -m d:u:userB:rwx path-to-subversion does not mention userA

What I'd really like to achieve is assign one user as the 'master' user and then all other users I create are members of that users group. I can't run usermodand there is no mechanism in the control panel to achieve this. Or is there?

colinj the default ACL is applied to new files and directories that are created in the future.

We don't have user/group management in the dashboard yet but I'll add that to our list if its not there already. In the meantime go ahead and email support with details for the user/group assignments you need and we'll try to make it happen.

Hi Sean,

Thanks. It has been a colleague of mine (Dave) who opened this thread and has been posting, He's sorted it out now and our svn+ssh svn commits etc are reported by svnlook as per user as required (and password free). Thanks for your help once again.
