Background:
"The Device user currently needs INVENTORY_CREATE permissions to create the managed objects. But this permissions elevate him to upload Binaries to the platform. This is a security concern "
“To improve security, the inventory role permissions have been split up into separate roles for the managed objects and binaries. This allows to assign more granular permissions. The existing permissions will still work.”

So Inventory=managed objects + binaries
