Cost Explorer permissions management

Prev Next

Available in Classic and VPC

You can set different access permissions for Cost Explorer using NAVER Cloud Platform's Sub Account service. Sub Account offers both system-managed (System Managed) and user-defined (User Created) policies to help you configure management and operation permissions.

Note

Sub Account is a free service with no additional charges. For more information about Sub Account, see Services > Management & Governance > Sub Account on the NAVER Cloud Platform portal and the [Sub Account user guide].

System-managed policies

System-managed policies are pre-built, role-based policies that NAVER Cloud Platform provides for your convenience. When you assign one of these policies to a sub account, that account gets access to Cost Explorer. Here are the available system-managed policies for Cost Explorer:

Policy name Policy description
NCP_ADMINISTRATOR Access to all services, same as the main account
NCP_INFRA_MANAGER Access to all services, except My Account > Manage billing information and expense > Manage billing and payment in the console
NCP_FINANCE_MANAGER Access limited to Cost Explorer services and My Account > Manage billing information and expense > Manage billing and payment in the console
NCP_COST_EXPLORER_VIEWER Read-only access to the Cost Explorer service
NCP_COST_EXPLORER_MANAGER Full access to all features of the Cost Explorer service

User-defined policies

User-defined policies let you create custom permissions. When you assign a user-defined policy to a sub account, that account can only perform the specific actions you've allowed. Here are the available user-defined policies for Cost Explorer:

Caution

If you grant someone access to a specific action but not to the required related actions, they won't be able to complete their tasks. Sub Account automatically includes these related permissions to prevent this issue. However, if you manually uncheck these auto-selected related actions, the system assumes this was intentional and won't override your selection.
