This article discusses how to add an additional user to an existing Subversion repository you have created. Subversion is a method of storing files and their histories, similar to the popular program CVS, but incorporating several improvements. We provide unlimited Subversion repositories with all our shell accounts - for details on how to create a new Subversion repository see Creating Subversion Repositories.

Login to the Management Interface with your normal shell username and password. You should be presented with a screen similar to the one below.

Click on the blue 'Subversion Repositories' text. A list of the Subversion repositories currently associated with your account is displayed. Determine the repository you would like to create a user on, and click the blue 'Add/Remove Users' text next to that database. You should see a screen similar to the one below.

Choose a name for the new user and enter in into the box circled above. Click 'Create'. You will be prompted for a password for the new user - enter a password and click 'Continue'.

The user will then be added to the repository with read and write permissions. You should be able to login using the new username and password - for details see Connecting To Subversion. If you would like to only permit the user read-only access to the repository, see Adjusting Subversion User Permissions.

Note that it may take several minutes for the username and password to begin working as our servers synchronise.
