We are happy to announce that we have implemented an Access Control List (ACL) for Subversion directories. ACL workflow allows you to restrict directories so that only certain developers have write permission. This workflow can be enabled at critical times like when there is a feature freeze, or to protect sensitive areas of an application.
Those of you who store multiple projects in a single Subversion repository can now easily configure permissions for your project teams on the directory level. But enough talking, if there isn't a screenshot it didn't happen, right?
So how does it work?
- Specify users who will be able to write to certain directories - they will be the owners of that code
- Everyone else will be able to see, but if they want to contribute, they will have to send a merge request
- Directories a person is not allowed to write to are marked with a red lock icon.
- Directories that a person is an owner of are marked with a green lock icon.
