Each PAUSE ID is for an individual user, as far as I'm aware. If you want to avoid sharing the credentials for that one PAUSE ID among several people (sensible) then you should have each person get their own PAUSE ID, then log in to PAUSE as BIOPERLML and assign them co-maint permissions on each namespace they'd need to be able to make releases for: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=share_perms That way, each person is accountable for each release they distribute to CPAN. I'm not aware of any "group" functionality to allow multiple users to share a "group" ID, other than just sharing the password for that PAUSE ID, which is of course suboptimal. Cheers Dave P
