`verdaccio` allows you protect publish, to achieve that you will need to set up correctly your [packages acces](packages).
### Package configuration
Let's see for instance the following set up. You have a set of dependencies what are prefixed with `my-company-*` and you need to protect them from anonymous or another logged user without right credentials.
```yaml
'my-company-*':
access: admin teamA teamB teamC
publish: admin teamA
proxy: npmjs
```
With this configuration, basically we allow to groups **admin** and **teamA** to * publish* and **teamA****teamB****teamC***access* to such dependencies.
### Use case: teamD try to access the dependency
So, if I am logged as **teamD**. I shouldn't be able to access all dependencies that match with `my-company-*` pattern.
```bash
➜ npm whoami
teamD
```
I won't have access to such dependencies and also won't be visible via web for user **teamD**. If I try to access the following will happen.
```bash
➜ npm install my-company-core
npm ERR! code E403
npm ERR! 403 Forbidden: webpack-1@latest
```
or with `yarn`
```bash
➜ yarn add my-company-core
yarn add v0.24.6
