This is the image showing Visual SVN after it has been ran. We create a new user.
Enter username/password
Next, we create a new Repository named JavaProjects. This is an empty Repository without data. Data will be pushed on server from a subversion client (by a member of programming group), and will be taken by other members. Members can modify data and push on Repository.
By default no one is allowed to access to this Repository, we will decentralize the authority later.
Right-click on Repository "JavaProjects" and select Properties
Click Add to add user who has the authority to access to this Repository.
Select User's authority.
