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.
