SISSA Trac Server
How to manage an SVN repository
- Go to the web address
http://trac.sissa.it/svn/name_of_the_repository
where name_of_the_repository is the name of repository that you manage (in our example, the name of the repository will be repos thus the address becomes http://trac.sissa.it/svn/repos
)
- Click
Login
button on the right
- Insert
Username
andPassword
- You are now logged-in. Since you are the administrator of the repository you can now see the
Admin
button on the right
- Click on
Admin
button to modify users and/or rules of your repository
User management
To add/remove a user or modify a user's password:
Click on Users
button on the right menu
The list of all users will appear (in our case there is only the user Mario Rossi who is the owner of the repository)
To create a new account, fill in Add account
form, on the right:
username
password
(that MUST be different from the SISSA password if you are a SISSA user!)name
email address
(not necessarily a SISSA address)
and click Add
button:
You can now see the new account and the corresponding details on the list:
In this page you can also change the password of a user by filling the Change Password
form (on the right). This can be useful e.g. if a user forgets his password.
To remove an account tick the corresponding name and the press the Remove selected accounts
button.
Permission
To manage users' permissions click on Access Rights
on the left:
Clicking on the root path
You can now see only the owner of the repository that has permissions to read and write in all the repository, while all the others (*) can't do anything. Notice that the permissions on a folder are automatically extended to all the corresponding subfolder (so if a user has permission on the root they are automatically extended to all the repository).
If you want a new user (eg. Giuseppe) to be able to read/write in one of the subfolder:
Go to add path, select the desired folder and click add
The selected folder is now present in the Subversion Paths table
Click on the name of the folder, then go to Add path members, select the subject you want to modify the permits of, what he is allowed to do and click add
The added member will now appear in the “main” table
If you want further modify only some permits you can tick/untick the corresponding space and then Change path members, to delete all the defined permits of a user select remove (on the left of the table) and Change path members. If you define a user without adding any permission that user won't have any permission on that folder, even those defined for the root folder.
