Configuring SVN repository in Amazon EC2 Ubuntu AMI

Question

I've installed a subversion server in my Ubuntu AMI. I want to access it via svn+ssh with different users (not 'ubuntu' default user). So, I can create different user accounts with 'useradd', but I'm worried about security.

I've used the 'ubuntu' user for other dev tasks, and I only need different users for subversion. Is 'useradd' the safer way? In other words: What's the safer method to provide different users commit access to my subversion repository in an Ubuntu EC2 AMI?

Many thanks in advance, and best regards
