npm-adduser(1) -- Add a registry user account ============================================= ## SYNOPSIS npm adduser [--registry=url] [--scope=@orgname] [--always-auth] ## DESCRIPTION Create or verify a user named `` in the specified registry, and save the credentials to the `.npmrc` file. If no registry is specified, the default registry will be used (see `npm-config(7)`). The username, password, and email are read in from prompts. To reset your password, go to To change your email address, go to You may use this command multiple times with the same user account to authorize on a new machine. When authenticating on a new machine, the username, password and email address must all match with your existing record. `npm login` is an alias to `adduser` and behaves exactly the same way. ## CONFIGURATION ### registry Default: http://registry.npmjs.org/ The base URL of the npm package registry. If `scope` is also specified, this registry will only be used for packages with that scope. See `npm-scope(7)`. ### scope Default: none If specified, the user and login credentials given will be associated with the specified scope. See `npm-scope(7)`. You can use both at the same time, e.g. npm adduser --registry=http://myregistry.example.com --scope=@myco This will set a registry for the given scope and login or create a user for that registry at the same time. ### always-auth Default: false If specified, save configuration indicating that all requests to the given registry should include authorization information. Useful for private registries. Can be used with `--registry` and / or `--scope`, e.g. npm adduser --registry=http://private-registry.example.com --always-auth This will ensure that all requests to that registry (including for tarballs) include an authorization header. See `always-auth` in `npm-config(7)` for more details on always-auth. Registry-specific configuration of `always-auth` takes precedence over any global configuration. ## SEE ALSO * npm-registry(7) * npm-config(1) * npm-config(7) * npmrc(5) * npm-owner(1) * npm-whoami(1)
