7### Description
8
9There are three levels of org users:
10
111. Super admin, controls billing & adding people to the org.
122. Team admin, manages team membership & package access.
133. Developer, works on packages they are given access to.  
14
15The super admin is the only person who can add users to the org because it impacts the monthly bill. The super admin will use the website to manage membership. Every org has a `developers` team that all users are automatically added to.
16
17The team admin is the person who manages team creation, team membership, and package access for teams. The team admin grants package access to teams, not individuals.
18
19The developer will be able to access packages based on the teams they are on. Access is either read-write or read-only.
20
21There are two main commands:
22
231. `npm team` see [npm team](/commands/npm-team) for more details
242. `npm access` see [npm access](/commands/npm-access) for more details
25
26### Team Admins create teams
27
28* Check who you’ve added to your org:
29
30```bash
31npm team ls <org>:developers
32```
33
34* Each org is automatically given a `developers` team, so you can see the whole list of team members in your org. This team automatically gets read-write access to all packages, but you can change that with the `access` command.
35
36* Create a new team:
37
38```bash
39npm team create <org:team>
40```
41
42* Add members to that team:
43
44```bash
45npm team add <org:team> <user>
46```
47
48### Publish a package and adjust package access
49
50* In package directory, run
51
52```bash
53npm init --scope=<org>
54```
55to scope it for your org & publish as usual
56
57* Grant access:  
58
59```bash
60npm access grant <read-only|read-write> <org:team> [<package>]
61```
62
63* Revoke access:
64
65```bash
66npm access revoke <org:team> [<package>]
67```
68
69### Monitor your package access
70
71* See what org packages a team member can access:
72
73```bash
74npm access ls-packages <org> <user>
75```
76
77* See packages available to a specific team:
78
79```bash
80npm access ls-packages <org:team>
81```
82
83* Check which teams are collaborating on a package:
84
85```bash
86npm access ls-collaborators <pkg>
87```
