You have to add the user to the group.  In the "Project admin" page
(look under the search box in the vertical menu on the left), there's
a form allowing you to add a user to a group.  When you do that (and
wait until next hour for the cron jobs to run), the user gets an
account and is allowed to use it to do CVS write operations.

  Be aware that CVS write access is only possible via SSH.  The
"pserver" method is only for anonymous, read-only access.
