19 Description
20 Used to set access controls on private packages.
21
22 For all of the subcommands, npm access will perform actions on the
23 packages in the current working directory if no package name is passed
24 to the subcommand.
25
26 • public / restricted (deprecated): Set a package to be either publicly
27 accessible or restricted.
28
29 • grant / revoke (deprecated): Add or remove the ability of users and
30 teams to have read-only or read-write access to a package.
31
32 • 2fa-required / 2fa-not-required (deprecated): Configure whether a
33 package requires that anyone publishing it have two-factor authenti‐
34 cation enabled on their account.
35
36 • ls-packages (deprecated): Show all of the packages a user or a team
37 is able to access, along with the access level, except for read-only
38 public packages (it won't print the whole registry listing)
39
40 • ls-collaborators (deprecated): Show all of the access privileges for
41 a package. Will only show permissions for packages to which you have
42 at least read access. If <user> is passed in, the list is filtered
43 only to teams that user happens to belong to.
44
45 • edit (not implemented)

48 Details
49 npm access always operates directly on the current registry, config‐
50 urable from the command line using --registry=<registry url>.
51
52 Unscoped packages are always public.
53
54 Scoped packages default to restricted, but you can either publish them
55 as public using npm publish --access=public, or set their access as
56 public using npm access public after the initial publish.
57
58 You must have privileges to set the access of a package:
59
60 • You are an owner of an unscoped or scoped package.
61
62 • You are a member of the team that owns a scope.
63
64 • You have been given read-write privileges for a package, either as a
65 member of a team or directly as an owner.
66
67
68 If you have two-factor authentication enabled then you'll be prompted
69 to provide an otp token, or may use the --otp=... option to specify it
70 on the command line.
71
72 If your account is not paid, then attempts to publish scoped packages
73 will fail with an HTTP 402 status code (logically enough), unless you
74 use --access=public.
75
76 Management of teams and team memberships is done with the npm team com‐
77 mand.
78
79 Configuration
80 registry
81 • Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
82
83 • Type: URL
84
85
86 The base URL of the npm registry.
87
88 otp
89 • Default: null
90
91 • Type: null or String
92
93
94 This is a one-time password from a two-factor authenticator. It's
95 needed when publishing or changing package permissions with npm access.
96
97 If not set, and a registry response fails with a challenge for a
98 one-time password, npm will prompt on the command line for one.
