### Synopsis
<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->
Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
### Description
Manage ownership of published packages.
* ls: List all the users who have access to modify a package and push new
versions. Handy when you need to know who to bug for help.
* add: Add a new user as a maintainer of a package. This user is enabled
to modify metadata, publish new versions, and add other owners.
* rm: Remove a user from the package owner list. This immediately revokes
their privileges.
Note that there is only one level of access. Either you can modify a package,
or you can't. Future versions may contain more fine-grained access levels, but
that is not implemented at this time.
If you have two-factor authentication enabled with `auth-and-writes` (see
[`npm-profile`](/commands/npm-profile)) then you'll need to include an otp
on the command line when changing ownership with `--otp`.
