DESCRIPTION

Used to set access controls on private packages.

For all of the subcommands, npm access will perform actions on the packages in the current working directory if no package name is passed to the subcommand.

DETAILS

npm access always operates directly on the current registry, configurable from the command line using --registry=<registry url>.

Unscoped packages are always public.

Scoped packages default to restricted, but you can either publish them as public using npm publish --access=public, or set their access as public using npm access public after the initial publish.

You must have privileges to set the access of a package:

If you have two-factor authentication enabled then you'll have to pass in an otp with --otp when making access changes.

If your account is not paid, then attempts to publish scoped packages will fail with an HTTP 402 status code (logically enough), unless you use --access=public.

Management of teams and team memberships is done with the npm team command.
