1. About the development team
The " developers " team is automatically created when the organization is created. By default, developer teams have read/write access to all new packages created organization-wide.
- Members added to the organization (including the organization owner) are automatically added to the developer team
- For any newly created package under the scope of the organization, the maintainers field in the package.json file will be automatically populated with members of the current developer team
If you create a new package within the scope of your organization and you don't want members of the development team to have read/write access to the package, the owner or administrator can remove the development team's access to the package.
If an owner adds a new member to the organization and doesn't want that member to be part of the developer team, the owner can remove it.
Note : Developer teams can no longer be removed from an organization due to the following reasons:
- It is the source of truth for all users, packages, and default permissions in your organization.
- When you want to restrict write access, it's best to set the default permissions to read-only and create a separate team to manage write access.
