Many thanks Pedro. So I did need an SVN server for remote working after all. OK, so I've got it all set up, created projects, done the authorisation etc. I'm not used to SVN at all, but I have a project with a trunk in SVN and can access it OK securitywise in the TAC and studio.
However, in the studio I can't create jobs etc. When i select the project from the studio and go into the designer, I don't get all the right-click options - can't create a job, duplicate it, delete it etc. I can create a job as I launch it, but not after that, and can't right click to create any metadata or anything. Seems to be behaving in a read-only manner.
In TAC I'm logging in as the same user, which has all 4 rights, including adminstrator and designer. I set the SVN in the configuraation, changed the user to set the SVN details and created a project, and tested the svn connection OK. When I created the project it automatically added it to the user under project authorisations, but the right click options Delete, Toggle read only and Toggle read/write show up but don't work.
The only thing I can think of is that that the user email id and password (based on my name, jackie) are the same as I used in my local project with a local installation but the firstname and lastname are different. For the local project they were admin admin, but for the remote one I have a seperate admistrator only user with admin admin and the jackie user has my real firstname and lastname. Should I do a seperate Studio install with the new first and lastname, or is there some other problem?
I can't see any thing in the manuals to explain this, apart from saying you only get r access if you don't had admin rights, but I do. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks
