Not really. Anyone can use a VCS. Why should they need to be in a particular group? That is a policy decision for your particular system. Example: at my workplace there are SVN and CVS repositories with _different_ groups to constrain access to particular project groups. For your system you may well have a single group who uses the VCS, and then you need only one group. But you don't really need a group at all (for example, I have a few mercurial repositories at home wholly for me - no group is involved at all). So a VCS shouldn't impose a group on the system. Make the group yourself, and set your own policy as you see fit. -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ The trouble with calling tech support is that you end up talking to someone whose best career option is to work in tech support - Lamont Lucas
