title: "Package Access"
---
It's a series of contraints that allow or restrict access to the local storage based in specific criteria.
The security constraints remain on the shoulders of the plugin being used, by default `verdaccio` uses the [htpasswd plugin](https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio-htpasswd). If you use a different plugin the behaviour might be different. The default plugin does not handle `allow_access` and `allow_publish` by itself, it uses an internal fallback in case the plugin is not ready for it.
For more information about permissions visit [the authentification section in the wiki](auth.md).
### Usage
```yalm
packages:
# scoped packages
'@scope/*':
access: $all
publish: $all
proxy: server2
'private-*':
access: $all
publish: $all
proxy: uplink1
'**':
# allow all users (including non-authenticated users) to read and
# publish all packages
access: $all
publish: $all
proxy: uplink2
```
if none is specified, the default one remains
```yaml
packages:
'**':
access: $all
publish: $authenticated
```
The list of valid groups according the default plugins are
```js
'$all', '$anonymous', '@all', '@anonymous', 'all', 'undefined', 'anonymous'
```
All users recieve all those set of permissions independently of is anonymous or not plus the groups provided by the plugin, in case of `htpasswd` return the username as a group. For instance, if you are logged as `npmUser` the list of groups will be.
```js
// groups without '$' are going to be deprecated eventually
'$all', '$anonymous', '@all', '@anonymous', 'all', 'undefined', 'anonymous', 'npmUser'
```
If you want to protect specific set packages under your group, you need to do something like this. Let's use a `Regex` that covers all prefixed `npmuser-` packages. We recomend using a prefix for your packages, in that way it will be easier to protect them.
```yaml
packages:
'npmuser-*':
access: npmuser
publish: npmuser
```
Restart `verdaccio` and in your console try to install `npmuser-core`.
```bash
$ npm install npmuser-core
npm install npmuser-core
npm ERR! code E403
npm ERR! 403 Forbidden: npmuser-core@latest
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /Users/user/.npm/_logs/2017-07-02T12_20_14_834Z-debug.log
```
You can change the existing behaviour using a different plugin authentication. `verdaccio` just checks whether the user that tried to access or publish a specific package belongs to the right group.
#### Set multiple groups
Defining multiple access groups is fairly easy, just define them with a white space between them.
```yaml
'company-*':
access: admin internal
publish: admin
proxy: server1
'supersecret-*':
access: secret super-secret-area ultra-secret-area
publish: secret ultra-secret-area
proxy: server1
```
#### Blocking access to set of packages
If you want to block the acccess/publish to a specific group of packages. Just do not define `access` and `publish`.
```yaml
packages:
'old-*':
'**':
access: $all
publish: $authenticated
```
#### Blocking proxying a set of specific packages
You might want to block one or several packages from fetching from remote repositories., but, at the same time, allow others to access different *uplinks*.
Let's see the following example:
```yaml
packages:
'jquery':
access: $all
publish: $all
'my-company-*':
access: $all
publish: $authenticated
'@my-local-scope/*':
access: $all
publish: $authenticated
'**':
access: $all
publish: $authenticated
proxy: npmjs
```
Let's describe what we want with the above example:
* I want to host my own `jquery` dependency but I need to avoid proxying it.
* I want all dependencies that match with `my-company-*` but I need to avoid proxying them.
* I want all dependencies that are in the `my-local-scope` scope but I need to avoid proxying them.
* I want proxying for all the rest of the dependencies.
Be **aware that the order of your packages definitions is important and always use double wilcard**. Because if you do not include it `verdaccio` will include it for you and the way that your dependencies are resolved will be affected.
### Configuration
You can define mutiple `packages` and each of them must have an unique `Regex`. The syntax is based on [minimatch glob expressions](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch).
Property | Type | Required | Example | Support | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
access | string | No | $all | all | define groups allowed to access the package
publish | string | No | $authenticated | all | define groups allowed to publish
proxy | string | No | npmjs | all | limit look ups for specific uplink
storage | boolean | No | [true,false] | all | TODO
> We higlight that we recommend to not use **allow_access**/**allow_publish** and **proxy_access** anymore, those are deprecated and will soon be removed, please use the short version of each of those (**access**/**publish**/**proxy**).
