NPM-OWNER(1) General Commands Manual NPM-OWNER(1)

NAME

npm-owner

Synopsis

<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->

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 go through a second factor flow when changing ownership or include an otp on the command line with --otp.
