Context

I am attempting to publish a private package to AWS CodeArtifact and having difficulties.

The package.json file has its private field set to false to prevent accidental publishing to npmjs.com registry in case a developer in our team makes a mistake. Package publish to AWS CA fails with the expected error (see Response 1 below).

Same thing happens when I specify the following publishConfig (see Response 2 below).

{
  "publishConfig": {
    "registry": "https://xxxxx-demo-domain-xxxxxxxxxxxx.d.codeartifact.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/npm/xxxxx-demo-repo/",
    "access": "restricted"
  }
}

Question

How do I configure the publishConfig to allow the package to be published to a specific AWS CA domain/registry under our team control? I couldn't find information about it in the AWS Documentation nor on StackOverflow nor anywhere else online.
