User Management link
Each user must have their own home directory and be the owner of it.
By default, all users will have the ability to commit and write in each module (directories at the root of the repository) but not to create new modules.
To allow a user to write inside the repository (create/delete modules, etc.), simply add them to the “cvsadmin” group by modifying the /etc/group
file as follows:
1
| cvsadmin:x:509:username
