I'm administering a Subversion server running on Windows Server 2008 R2. When I need to add access to SVN repositories, I need to edit a svnaccess.txt file. This file sits under C:\Program Files(x86)\CollabNet\Subversion Server. When I attempt to edit the file, though, I cannot save it unless I save it to a new file.
My account is part of the local administrators group. All of the folders and subfolders in the path have Full Control enabled for Administrators. The file itself also has Full Control enabled for Administrators. Yet, the only way I can edit this file is to add Modify and Write permissions to the local Users group even though my account is only part of the local administrators group.
What's odd too, is that if I can edit these permissions I must have the appropriate administrator privileges.
I searched for this a while back and recall seeing a hotfix for this as it was a known bug in Windows Server 2008, however, I cannot for the life of me find this link anymore nor do I see a fix like this on the hotfix spreadsheet. I need to locate the hotfix that corrects this to provide to our system admins. For some reason, they will only install hotfixes if a problem is identified.
If anyone knows of the hotfix that corrects this issue, please let me know! :)
Thank you!
