All that cvs2svn concerns itself with is the history of the project. The Subversion commits are attributed to the same author as the CVS commits were. There is a way to map the author names when transforming from CVS to Subversion (see the author_transforms setting in the cvs2svn-example.options file). User authentication and authorization must be done as a separate step. This must be the case because both CVS and Subversion have multiple alternatives for managing users, most of which are external to CVS/Subversion; e.g., SSH permissions or Apache configuration.
