@access Back

This tag is mainly used for specifying the accessibility level of members: package, private, protected, and public.

• @access package is the same as @package.
• @access private is the same as @private.
• @access protected is the same as @protected.
• @access public is the same as @public.

Note: Private members are not shown in the generated output unless JSDoc is run with the -p/--private command-line option.

a doclet's access level is different from its scope. It means that documenting with such a tag won't change its real running scope.
