### Description

Used to manage teams in organizations, and change team memberships. Does not handle permissions for packages.

Teams must always be fully qualified with the organization/scope they belong to when operating on them, separated by a colon (`:`). That is, if you have a `newteam` team in an `org` organization, you must always refer to that team as `@org:newteam` in these commands.

If you have two-factor authentication enabled in `auth-and-writes` mode, then you can provide a code from your authenticator with `[--otp <otpcode>]`. If you don’t include this then you will be prompted.

- create / destroy: Create a new team, or destroy an existing one. Note: You cannot remove the `developers` team, learn more.

  Here’s how to create a new team `newteam` under the `org` org:

      npm team create @org:newteam

  You should see a confirming message such as: `+@org:newteam` once the new team has been created.

- add: Add a user to an existing team.

  Adding a new user `username` to a team named `newteam` under the `org` org:

      npm team add @org:newteam username

  On success, you should see a message: `username added to @org:newteam`

- rm: Using `npm team rm` you can also remove users from a team they belong to.

  Here’s an example removing user `username` from `newteam` team in `org` organization:

      npm team rm @org:newteam username

  Once the user is removed a confirmation message is displayed: `username removed from @org:newteam`

- ls: If performed on an organization name, will return a list of existing teams under that organization. If performed on a team, it will instead return a list of all users belonging to that particular team.

  Here’s an example of how to list all teams from an org named `org`:

      npm team ls @org

  Example listing all members of a team named `newteam`:

      npm team ls @org:newteam

### Details

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

You must be a team admin to create teams and manage team membership, under the given organization. Listing teams and team memberships may be done by any member of the organization.

Organization creation and management of team admins and organization members is done through the website, not the npm CLI.

To use teams to manage permissions on packages belonging to your organization, use the `npm access` command to grant or revoke the appropriate permissions.
