Amazon Billing and Cost Management and Amazon Organizations

Amazon Billing and Cost Management provides a suite of features to help you set up your billing, retrieve and pay invoices, and analyze, organize, plan, and optimize your costs. When you use Billing and Cost Management with Amazon Organizations you allow split cost allocation data to retrieve Amazon Organizations information, if applicable, and collect telemetry data for the split cost allocation data services that you opted into.

Use the following information to help you integrate Amazon Billing and Cost Management with Amazon Organizations.

Service-linked roles created when you enable integration

The following service-linked role is automatically created in your organization's management account when you enable trusted access. This role allows Billing and Cost Management to perform supported operations within your organization's accounts in your organization.

You can delete or modify this role only if you disable trusted access between Billing and Cost Management and Organizations, or if you remove the member account from the organization.

For more information, see Service-linked role permissions for Billing and Cost Management in the Billing and Cost Management User Guide.

Service principals used by Billing and Cost Management

The service-linked role in the previous section can be assumed only by the service principals authorized by the trust relationships defined for the role. The service-linked roles used by Billing and Cost Management grant access to the following service principals:

Enabling trusted access with Billing and Cost Management

For information about the permissions needed to enable trusted access, see Permissions required to enable trusted access.

With trusted access enabled via management account, customers can take advantage of the split cost allocation data feature under Billing and Cost Management. When customers enable split cost allocation data for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service with Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, trusted access is invoked to create service-linked roles for all member accounts within the Organization. This allows split cost allocation data to collect telemetry data from customers' Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus work spaces and perform cost allocation based on those metrics.

You can enable trusted access by using either the Amazon Organizations console, by running a Amazon CLI command, or by calling an API operation in one of the Amazon SDKs.
