SVN User Configuration / Is it possible to have a user in SVN be able to update but not commit?

Is it possible to have a user in SVN be able to update but not commit?

I want to have someone be able to see code but not be able to commit.

Is this possible?

You can set up particular users or groups with just 'read' access. This way, they still need to authenticate to get the code, but they can't commit anything.

@ryanprayogo provides the links to setting these permissions so I won't repeat them.

Yes. Depending on the SVN server access method (whether you use http:// or svn://, etc), you will need to configure stuff differently.

For Apache/httpd: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.authz

For svnserve: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#svn.serverconfig.svnserve.auth

Yes -- it's called anonymous access. See the SVN book for more info on how to configure it (example configuration files are here)
