## Create a repository

* **Note**\
  After you create a repository, you cannot change its name, associated AWS account, or domain.
* **Note**\
  To create a repository with an upstream, you must have permission for the `AssociateWithDownstreamRepository` action on the upstream repository.

## View or modify a repository configuration

* **Note**\
  After you create a repository, you cannot change its name, associated AWS account, or domain.
* **Note**\
  To add an upstream repository, you must have permission for the `AssociateWithDownstreamRepository` action on the upstream repository.

## Repository policies

* **Note**\
  The `codeartifact:ReadFromRepository` action can only be used on a repository resource. You cannot put a package's Amazon Resource Name (ARN) as a resource with `codeartifact:ReadFromRepository` as the action to allow read access to a subset of packages in a repository. A given principal can either read all the packages in a repository or none of them.
* **Note**\
  You cannot grant permissions to another AWS account to update the resource policy on a repository using a resource policy, since the resource policy is ignored when calling put-repository-permissions-policy.
* **Important**\
  To grant permission to publish Maven and NuGet package versions, add the following permissions in addition to `codeartifact:PublishPackageVersion`.\
  NuGet: `codeartifact:ReadFromRepository` and specify the repository resource Maven: `codeartifact:PutPackageMetadata`

## Tag a repository

  To get the ARN of the repository, run the `describe-repository` command:
