NPM-OWNER(1)

NAME
npm-owner - Manage package owners

  Synopsis

    npm owner add <user> <package-spec>
    npm owner rm <user> <package-spec>
    npm owner ls <package-spec>
    alias: 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 help 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.

  workspace

    •   Default:

    •   Type: String (can be set multiple times)

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:

    •   Workspace names

    •   Path to a workspace directory

    •   Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all workspaces within that folder)

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

    •   Default: null

    •   Type: null or Boolean

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:

    •   Commands that operate on the node_modules tree (install, update, etc.) will link workspaces into the node_modules folder. - Commands that do other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project, unless one or more workspaces are specified in the workspace config.

This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
