As an organization member, you can configure your npm client to:

• make a single package or all new packages you create locally use your organization's scope
• make a single package or all new packages you create locally have default public visibility

Before configuring your npm client, you mustinstall npm.

Configuring your npm client to use your organization's scope

If you will be publishing packages with your organization's scope often, you can add your organization's scope to your global.npmrc configuration file.

Setting your organization scope for all new packages

Setting your organization scope for a single package

1. On the command line, navigate to the package directory.

   cd /path/to/package

2. Run the following command, replacing <org-name> with the name of your organization:

   npm config set scope <org-name>

Setting package visibility to public for a single package

You can set a single package to pass--access public to everynpm publish command that you issue for that package.

1. On the command line, navigate to the package directory.

   cd /path/to/package

2. Run the following command:

   npm config set access public

Setting package visibility to public for all packages

You can set all packages to pass--access public to everynpm publish command that you issue for that package.
