Scopes

On JSR, all packages are contained within a scope. A scope is a group that jointly administers a set of packages. Scopes are owned by a single user, and can have multiple members.

Scopes on JSR are similar to npm organizations. Scopes are prefixed with an @ symbol. Scope names must be between 2 and 20 characters long, and can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. They cannot start with a hyphen. Scope names are globally unique - no two scopes can have the same name.

You can create a scope at jsr.io/new.

Members

Scopes can have multiple members. Members can administer the scope and publish packages.

Roles

Members can have one of two roles: admin or member.

Permission	Member	Admin
Create packages	✅	✅
Delete packages	❌	✅
Publish package versions	✅	✅
Yank package versions	❌	✅
Update package description	✅	✅
Update package GitHub repo	❌	✅
Invite members	❌	✅
Change member roles	❌	✅
Remove members	❌	✅
Delete scope	❌	✅

The user that creates a scope is automatically an admin of that scope. Admins can invite other users to join the scope, and can change the role of other members. Admins can also delete the scope.

Inviting members

Admins can invite other users to join the scope. To invite a user, head to the “Members” tab of your scope, enter the GitHub username of the user you want to invite, and click “Invite”. The user will receive an email inviting them to join the scope. The user must have a JSR account before you can invite them to join your scope. If they do not have a JSR account yet, ask them to create one at jsr.io before inviting them.

When a user is invited, they will receive an email inviting them to join the scope. The email will contain a link to accept the invitation. If the user accepts the invitation, they will be added to the scope as a member. The user can also see all pending invitations on their account invitations page.

Changing member roles

Admins can change the role of other members. To change the role of a member, head to the “Members” tab of your scope, click the dropdown next to the member you want to change the role of, and select the new role. The new role will take effect immediately. Note that you can not demote the last admin of a scope to a member. If you want to demote the last admin of a scope to a member, you must first promote another member to an admin. A scope must always have at least one admin.

Removing members

Admins can remove members from the scope. To remove a member, head to the “Members” tab of your scope, click the dropdown next to the member you want to remove, and select “Remove”. The member will be removed from the scope immediately. The user will no longer be able to administer or publish to the scope. If the member is the last admin of the scope, you must first promote another member to an admin before you can remove the last admin.

Leaving a scope

You can leave a scope at any time. To leave a scope, head to the “Members” tab of the scope, and click “Leave”. You will be removed from the scope immediately. You will no longer be able to access to administer or publish to the scope. If you are the last admin of the scope, you must first promote another member to an admin before you can leave the scope.

If you are the last member of a scope, you cannot leave the scope. You can delete the scope instead.

Deleting a scope

Scopes can only be deleted if they have no packages. If you want to delete a scope, you must first delete all packages in that scope. Learn more about package deletion.

Scopes can be deleted by scope admins from the scope settings page.

GitHub Actions publishing security

If you link a package in your scope to a GitHub repository, you can publish packages from GitHub Actions without having to configure any secrets or authentication. Learn more about publishing from GitHub Actions.

Firstly, publishing is permitted only if the GitHub Actions workflow runs in the GitHub repository that is linked to the package on JSR.

As a scope admin you can additionally restrict publishing to be permitted only if the user that triggered the GitHub Actions workflow is a member of this scope on JSR. This option is enabled by default.

You can disable this option in the scope settings page to allow publishing from any GitHub Actions workflow in the linked GitHub repository, regardless of the user that triggered the workflow.

Requiring publishing from CI

As a scope admin you can require that all package versions are published from a CI environment (GitHub Actions). Enabling this option will prevent users from publishing package versions from their local development environment. All package versions must be published with an OIDC token from a CI environment.

You can enable this option in the scope settings page.
