So i was browsing the epic games dev portal and i noticed ont he roles section that you can have 2 separate roles a “Artifacts Live Update” and a “Artifacts and Binaries” but i couldn’t really understand which role is meant to do what.

Hi **sectest\_wursts** ,

Great question!

_Artifacts Live Update_ will allow users to manage the **Artifacts live update settings** for your product from the **Product dashboard**.

_Artifacts and Binaries_ will allow users to manage artifacts and binaries associated with your product, from the **Product dashboard** _and_ **the Artifacts and Binaries tab**.

Basically, it allows users to manage artifacts from different parts of the Dev Portal, depending on the role you select. You can find more information on this in this [article](https://dev.epicgames.com/docs/epic-games-store/publishing-tools/organization-management/manage-org#publishing-tool-permissions).

Let me know if you have further questions on this!
