Synopsis
npm owner add <user> [<@scope>/]<pkg>
npm owner rm <user> [<@scope>/]<pkg>
npm owner ls [<@scope>/]<pkg>
aliases: author
Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
Description
Manage ownership of published packages.
- ls: List all the users who have access to modify a package and push new versions. Handy when you need to know who to bug for help.
- add: Add a new user as a maintainer of a package. This user is enabled to modify metadata, publish new versions, and add other owners.
- rm: Remove a user from the package owner list. This immediately revokes their privileges.
Note that there is only one level of access. Either you can modify a package, or you can't. Future versions may contain more fine-grained access levels, but that is not implemented at this time.
If you have two-factor authentication enabled with auth-and-writes (see
npm-profile) then you'll need to include an otp
on the command line when changing ownership with --otp.
Configuration
registry
- Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
- Type: URL
The base URL of the npm registry.
otp
- Default: null
- Type: null or String
This is a one-time password from a two-factor authenticator. It's needed
when publishing or changing package permissions with npm access.
If not set, and a registry response fails with a challenge for a one-time password, npm will prompt on the command line for one.
