I don't know if this is the best way, but when we dealt with this issue
here, we simply changed the permissions on the repository's root
directory to be read-only. The effect of this was that in the instances
that someone needs a new folder at the root level, they simply need to
come to us (the CVS administrators) to create it for them. It
effectively creates an approval process.
 
Yes, this means manually touching the repository, which we don't
generally like to do. In this case, however, all we do is create the
directory and nothing else. The users are able to do the rest.

Subject: Limiting Access


Hello Everyone
 
On the linux server at the root of my repository, I've created a top
folder for each department whithin our company and each group is
supposed to create new projects only under their own departmental
folders. However, I'm finding that couple of developers created bunch of
new projects directly on the root parallel to the other departmental
folders, I'm planning to login to the server and move these folders to
their appropriate place.  In the mean time, is there any way to limit
access to the users as to where they can create new projects?
 
Thanks
