What kind of permissions / roles in an organization are required to create a new product? I can’t find any relevant documentation on permissions for _creating_ products, only on managing them afterwards. Thank you! ---

Hello, Thank you for reaching out for support! I understand that you’re trying to find documentation on permissions for creating products or managing them afterwards. I’m happy to help with this! [This article](https://dev.epicgames.com/docs/epic-games-store/publishing-tools/organization-management/manage-org#publishing-tool-permissions) explains our permissions with great detail! However, it doesn’t specifically say what you need to create a product, so I looked into this further. To create a product, you either need the default roles of **Owner** or **Admin** to create a product in the Dev Portal. Even if you create a role with similar permissions, they won’t be able to create a product, as it is a role-specific permission. Let us know if you have any additional questions!
