Am I reading this correctly? Yes, assuming you mean 'writers' is not present. The mere presence of 'writers' means that all people who can commit need to be listed in there. > I read the different NTFS Privileges as... > > If UserA has Full Control privileges on a file/module, then they have > checkout, update and commit access to the module/file > > If UserB only has Read privileges, then UserB can checkout and update > the file, but cannot commit the file. > > Is there a difference between Modify privileges and Full Control > privileges in relation to CVSNT security? CVSNT doesn't modify files--it does a full replace on files that it updates to keep the changes atomic and avoid corruption if something should happen to/on the server while CVSNT is trying to perform it's operations.
