Read Cost Reports

A cost report is a comma-separated value (CSV) file that gives you a detailed breakdown of the Oracle Analytics Cloud resources that you use in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, for audit or invoice reconciliation. You can use the information in your cost reports to help you optimize your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure spending and make more informed cloud spending decisions. You must be assigned to a security policy that allows you to read cost reports.

For example, if you have an OCI user group called AnalyticsServiceAdmins, you might want to allow this group to read cost reports.

The policy statement will look like this:

define tenancy usage-report as ocid1.tenancy.oc1..aaaaaaaaned4fkpkisbwjlr56u7cj63lf3wffbilvqknstgtvzub7vhqkggq
endorse group AnalyticsServiceAdmins to read objects in tenancy usage-report
