npm owner add <user> <package-spec>
npm owner rm <user> <package-spec>
npm owner ls <package-spec>
alias: author
Manage ownership of published packages.
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
(seenpm-profile
) then you'll need to go through a second factor
flow when changing ownership or include an otp on the command line with --otp
.
registry
The base URL of the npm registry.
otp
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.
workspace
Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
this configuration option.
Valid values for the workspace
config are either:
When set for the npm init
command, this may be set to the folder of a
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
brand new workspace within the project.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
workspaces
Set to true to run the command in the context of all configured
workspaces.
Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like install
to
ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:
node_modules
tree (install, update, etc.)node_modules
folder. - Commands that doworkspace
config.This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
