Quick Background: We have three distinct roles: developers, buildmasters, and admins. Only admins will have access to the VisualSVN MMC plugin. Buildmasters will be in one AD group, developers in another. Buildmasters will routinely create new subfolders directly under / branches (e.g., /branches/B1), developers can never create branches. However, developers must be able to create new subfolders within a specific branch (e.g., /branches/B1/functionA).
The question is: how can we programatically grant the developers write access to the specific branch folders (e.g., /branches/B1) given that we: a) Don't want to burden the admins with this responsibility; and b) Won't give the buildmasters access to the admin console? Does VisualSVN Server have a command line or API - I haven't been able to find it. My understanding is that SVN doesn't support AD authorization at the folder level, so I don't see how the std SVN command line could help. Thanks.
