# Requirements for AWS Elemental MediaPackage
<a name="requirements-for-mediapackage"></a>

Your deployment might send outputs to AWS Elemental MediaPackage, either by creating an [HLS output group or by creating a MediaPackage output group](hls-choosing-hls-vs-emp.md). (Note that both MediaLive and MediaPackage have "channels"; however, they are different objects.)

The user needs permissions to perform actions in MediaPackage when they use the MediaLive console and when they use the MediaLive workflow wizard. 


| Permissions | Service name in IAM | Actions |
