I'm very new to SVN server.. Could you please anyone help me out to block some folders..  My current settings are as below;  Installed Path C:\svn_repository\conf  Authz  
   ### This file is an example authorization file for svnserve. ### Its format is identical to that of mod_authz_svn authorization ### files. ### As shown below each section defines authorizations for the path and ### (optional) repository specified by the section name. ### The authorizations follow. An authorization line can refer to: ### - a single user, ### - a group of users defined in a special [groups] section, ### - an alias defined in a special [aliases] section, ### - all authenticated users, using the '$authenticated' token, ### - only anonymous users, using the '$anonymous' token, ### - anyone, using the '*' wildcard. ### ### A match can be inverted by prefixing the rule with '~'. Rules can ### grant read ('r') access, read-write ('rw') access, or no access ### ('').  [aliases] # joe = /C=XZ/ST=Dessert/L=Snake City/O=Snake Oil, Ltd./OU=Research Institute/CN=Joe Average  [groups] #Video = TJ, Jhon, Tim, Viki private = Tim # harry_and_sally = harry,sally # harry_sally_and_joe = harry,sally,&joe test = Tim  # [/foo/bar] # harry = rw # &joe = r # * =  # [repository:/baz/fuz] # @harry_and_sally = rw # * = r  [repo:/HSBC] Tim =   [repos:/HSBC] Tim =  [svn_repository:/HSBC] Tim =  [HSBC] Tim =  [3548:/HSBC] Tim =
  svnserve.conf  
    ### This file controls the configuration of the svnserve daemon, if you ### use it to allow access to this repository. (If you only allow ### access through http: and/or file: URLs, then this file is ### irrelevant.)  ### Visit http://subversion.apache.org/ for more information.  [general] ### The anon-access and auth-access options control access to the ### repository for unauthenticated (a.k.a. anonymous) users and ### authenticated users, respectively. ### Valid values are "write", "read", and "none". ### Setting the value to "none" prohibits both reading and writing; ### "read" allows read-only access, and "write" allows complete  ### read/write access to the repository. ### The sample settings below are the defaults and specify that anonymous ### users have read-only access to the repository, while authenticated ### users have read and write access to the repository. # anon-access = read # auth-access = write ### The password-db option controls the location of the password ### database file. Unless you specify a path starting with a /, ### the file's location is relative to the directory containing ### this configuration file. ### If SASL is enabled (see below), this file will NOT be used. ### Uncomment the line below to use the default password file. # password-db = passwd ### The authz-db option controls the location of the authorization ### rules for path-based access control. Unless you specify a path ### starting with a /, the file's location is relative to the the ### directory containing this file. If you don't specify an ### authz-db, no path-based access control is done. ### Uncomment the line below to use the default authorization file. # authz-db = authz ### This option specifies the authentication realm of the repository. ### If two repositories have the same authentication realm, they should ### have the same password database, and vice versa. The default realm ### is repository's uuid. # realm = My First Repository ### The force-username-case option causes svnserve to case-normalize ### usernames before comparing them against the authorization rules in the ### authz-db file configured above. Valid values are "upper" (to upper- ### case the usernames), "lower" (to lowercase the usernames), and ### "none" (to compare usernames as-is without case conversion, which ### is the default behavior). # force-username-case = none anon-access = none auth-access - write authz-db = authz realm - repos   [sasl] ### This option specifies whether you want to use the Cyrus SASL ### library for authentication. Default is false. ### This section will be ignored if svnserve is not built with Cyrus ### SASL support; to check, run 'svnserve --version' and look for a line ### reading 'Cyrus SASL authentication is available.' # use-sasl = true ### These options specify the desired strength of the security layer

We'll need more information on what you're trying to do in order to help you. In general, the header is
 [: @group =  account = 
   The ":" is not required but if provided then it must match the path that svnserve uses to get to the repository from the specified root directory (the "--root" directory specified when svnserve is run). I find it best not to specify any ":" part when working with svnserve since then it always works, regardless the path used to get to the repository (means that symlinks don't mess up the equation).
