22 Description
23 Used to set access controls on private packages.
24
25 For all of the subcommands, npm access will perform actions on the
26 packages in the current working directory if no package name is passed
27 to the subcommand.
28
29 · public / restricted: Set a package to be either publicly accessible
30 or restricted.
31
32 · grant / revoke: Add or remove the ability of users and teams to have
33 read-only or read-write access to a package.
34
35 · 2fa-required / 2fa-not-required: Configure whether a package requires
36 that anyone publishing it have two-factor authentication enabled on
37 their account.
38
39 · ls-packages: Show all of the packages a user or a team is able to
40 access, along with the access level, except for read-only public
41 packages (it won't print the whole registry listing)
42
43 · ls-collaborators: Show all of the access privileges for a package.
44 Will only show permissions for packages to which you have at least
45 read access. If <user> is passed in, the list is filtered only to
46 teams that user happens to belong to.
47
48 · edit: Set the access privileges for a package at once using $EDITOR.

51 Details
52 npm access always operates directly on the current registry, config‐
53 urable from the command line using --registry=<registry url>.
54
55 Unscoped packages are always public.
56
57 Scoped packages default to restricted, but you can either publish them
58 as public using npm publish --access=public, or set their access as
59 public using npm access public after the initial publish.
60
61 You must have privileges to set the access of a package:
62
63 · You are an owner of an unscoped or scoped package.
64
65 · You are a member of the team that owns a scope.
66
67 · You have been given read-write privileges for a package, either as a
68 member of a team or directly as an owner.
69
70
71 If you have two-factor authentication enabled then you'll have to pass
72 in an otp with --otp when making access changes.
73
74 If your account is not paid, then attempts to publish scoped packages
75 will fail with an HTTP 402 status code (logically enough), unless you
76 use --access=public.
77
78 Management of teams and team memberships is done with the npm team com‐
79 mand.
