Product Management Permissions Group
The Product Management grouping displays the user permissions required to:
- View, create or update product definitions
- Access reports and analytics
Products

The License Management panel displays the user permissions required to:
- View, issue, reissue, update or assign licenses

Read: To
- Search Licenses and Activations and
- View license and activation details.
Manage: To
- Disable, Deactivate or change the Max Devices associated with a license without reissuing the license.
- To create and manage SKUs (license templates)
As the License Manage option does NOT allow a user to issue or reissue a license, you should assign this permission to a user that you wish to be able to Disable, Deactivate or otherwise update a license but not have the ability to issue/reissue a license.
Issue
Manage: To issue or reissue a license.
A user with this permission can also Disable, Deactivate and Change Max Devices on an issued license without having to reissue the license.

A user with Permutation Manage permission can also access the NuGet feed to download SpAgent runtime packages.
