For larger projects and ISVs it is often a requirement to publish snaps using a brand account. Here is an overview of how to create a brand account and define collaborators.
Registering accounts
Accounts are registered here: https://snapcraft.io/account
What we recommend is this:
- Create an umbrella/brand account using the project name or name of the legal entity publishing the software.
- Let each team member who releases and manages snaps register a personal account
- Grant each team member access to the snaps by adding their personal accounts as collaborators.
Registering Snaps
Snaps can be registered using the snapcraft tool or via the web. Snaps should be registered using the brand/umbrella account.
Registering snaps with Snapcraft
- Install
snapcraftusingsnap install snapcraft --classicon Linux orbrew install snapcrafton macOS. - Execute
snapcraft loginand authenticate using the brand/umbrella account. - Once authenticated register the snap name(s) with
snapcraft register yoursnapname.
Registering snaps via the web
- Login to https://snapcraft.io using the brand/umbrella account
- Register snap(s) here: https://snapcraft.io/account/register-snap
Collaborators
When you’ve registered snap(s) using a brand/umbrella account, you should add team members’ personal accounts to the umbrella/brand account via the Dashboard for your snap. For example https://dashboard.snapcraft.io/snaps/yoursnapname/collaboration/
Collaborators can then push and release snaps using their personal accounts.
