Client is intended to be used by your game client, and is always safe to distribute to your players.

Server is intended to be used by game servers, or matchmake servers. It contains neither the Admin API nor the Client API.

Combo is everything. It's intended to be used in special cases (probably yours), and for title utility tools, usually for automation or conversion.

We do NOT encourage developers to publish the Server or Combo SDK to their players. The key point of vulnerability is the devSecretKey. If you publish to a player with a devSecretKey set, your title is compromised.

In your case, you say you need Admin and Matchmaker, which means Combo is your choice.

As a side note: Please explain why you need both the Admin and the Matchmaker APIs? It's our intent that each API is "whole", and shouldn't require mix-and-match if we can help it. We need customer feedback like yours to accomplish this goal.

Many thanks for your explanation. I'm making myself familiar with the SDKs, which was the reason for my question. I don't (yet) have a need for the Admin and Matchmaker SDKs.
