Re: How to allow access on reviews per repository
Hi, There's nothing today that you can use for this. What you can do, and it's what some companies do, is have separate Review Board instances for different groups of people. That way, you can have one Review Board instance per group of people of a certain access level. So, for example, some companies have a Review Board server for the main, internal developers, and another one for outside contractors. The plan is to have some form of policy support for 2.0. Admins would be able to restrict users to particular repositories, so that they'd get Permission Denied errors if accessing a review request on a repository they're not permitted to see. 2.0 is a little ways off. We're working hard on 1.5 right now. After that, there are plans to do a smaller 1.6 release, which will coincide with the development of parts of 2.0 on a branch. The permissions support is a Django-provided feature, and really just has to do with permissions within the admin UI. There's nothing you can use there. Even if you did block off the All Review Requests page (which would require modifying the source code), users who really wanted access could use the web API to get to information there. You would have to do a lot of work to implement what you want here, and while it would work short-term, you'd eventually have to resolve differences between your tree and the upstream version when 2.0 comes out.

Re: How to allow access on reviews per repository
Thank you for your answers. Indeed, I want to restrict access in "All review requests" only to a specific repository. I have SVN hooks for multiple repos that submit review requests on each commit. On a specific project we have external devs working and I don't want them to access other repositories/code base. @Christian: Will there be such functionality in 2.0? I searched the permissions area, but nothings seems to fit. Could I instead limit the access only to "Incoming Reviews" in Dashboard, and remove the "All review requests" altogether?

Re: How to allow access on reviews per repository
Right. If you do need the former, you'll need to wait until such functionality is added in 2.0.

If the latter, what you will want to do is set up a default reviewer group for the repository (on RB 1.5; on earlier versions you will have to do this by corporate policy rather than default) This means that every time a review is submitted against a particular repository, it will automatically direct it at the members of the group. If you do not have default per-repository groups (e.g. you are running 1.0.5.1 or earlier) then you will want to set a policy for your developers to follow that they will always add the appropriate group manually when creating a review. Then you simply have the members of the various teams join the appropriate reviewer group, and they will have the reviews added to their dashboard. -- Want to help the Review Board project?
