Setting up your anomaly detection

The overviews in this section describe how to get started with Amazon Cost Anomaly Detection in Amazon Billing and Cost Management.

Enabling Cost Explorer

Amazon Cost Anomaly Detection is a feature within Cost Explorer. To access Amazon Cost Anomaly Detection, enable Cost Explorer. For instructions on how to enable Cost Explorer using the console, see Enabling Cost Explorer.

Controlling access using IAM

After you enable Cost Explorer at the management account level, you can use Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) to manage access to your billing data for individual users. You can then grant or revoke access on an individual level for each user role, rather than granting access to all users.

A user must be granted explicit permission to view pages in the Billing and Cost Management console. With the appropriate permissions, the user can view costs for the Amazon Web Services account that the user belongs to. For the policy that grants the necessary permissions to a user, see Billing and Cost Management actions policies.

For more information about using resource-level access and attribute-based access control (ABAC) for Cost Anomaly Detection, see Controlling access for Cost Anomaly Detection.

Accessing the console

When your setup is complete, access Amazon Cost Anomaly Detection.
