  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
<!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS START --> <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

  registry

    •   Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"

    •   Type: URL

The base URL of the npm registry. <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

  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. <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

<!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS END -->
