Hi Geoff,
Apologies for replying to you. Please find my comments fro your queries
below.
What result/message is the user actually seeing? I'm facing No ERROR at
the moment.
>From what I'm seeing, you're trying to give that specific user read-only
access, but they're getting read/write access. Yes, That's right. Even post
changing the user settings, i m getting read-write access for that
user(d389678)
Some of my following queries are based on Windows and might not apply on
your platform: Oh, anyway my platform is LINUX
Have they actually logged out and in again? Yes, Tried
Have you restarted the httpd daemon after reconfiguring? (This shouldn't
be necessary, but it could be worth a try.) Yes Tried.
Do you grant global read/write access to that repository at all? Not sure,
about this. Can you please tell me where this param value specified?
Thanks.
