# Security in AWS Billing Security Cloud security at AWS is the highest priority. As an AWS customer, you benefit from a data center and network architecture that is built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations. Security is a shared responsibility between AWS and you. The [shared responsibility model](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/shared-responsibility-model/) describes this as security *of* the cloud and security *in* the cloud: + **Security of the cloud** – AWS is responsible for protecting the infrastructure that runs AWS services in the AWS Cloud. AWS also provides you with services that you can use securely. Third-party auditors regularly test and verify the effectiveness of our security as part of the [AWS Compliance Programs](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/programs/). To learn about the compliance programs that apply to AWS Billing and Cost Management, see [AWS Services in Scope by Compliance Program](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/services-in-scope/). + **Security in the cloud** – Your responsibility is determined by the AWS service that you use. You are also responsible for other factors including the sensitivity of your data, your company’s requirements, and applicable laws and regulations. This documentation helps you understand how to apply the shared responsibility model when using Billing and Cost Management. The following topics show you how to configure Billing and Cost Management to meet your security and compliance objectives. You also learn how to use other AWS services that help you to monitor and secure your Billing and Cost Management resources. **Topics** + [ # Data protection in AWS Billing and Cost Management ](data-protection.md) + [ # Identity and Access Management for AWS Billing ](security-iam.md) + [ # Using service-linked roles for AWS Billing ](using-service-linked-roles.md) + [ # Logging and monitoring in AWS Billing and Cost Management ](billing-security-logging.md) + [ # Compliance validation for AWS Billing and Cost Management ](Billing-compliance.md) + [ # Resilience in AWS Billing and Cost Management ](disaster-recovery-resiliency.md) + [ # Infrastructure security in AWS Billing and Cost Management ](infrastructure-security.md) **Note** When you use billing transfer as a bill source account, your billing and cost management data transfers to an external management account (bill transfer account). The bill transfer account controls your billing and cost management experience. The bill source account can't override billing transfer effects using IAM policies. To regain control of your billing and cost management data, you must withdraw from billing transfer. For more information, see [Transfer billing management to external accounts](orgs_transfer_billing.md). # Data protection in AWS Billing and Cost Management Data protection The AWS [shared responsibility model](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/shared-responsibility-model/) applies to data protection in AWS Billing and Cost Management. As described in this model, AWS is responsible for protecting the global infrastructure that runs all of the AWS Cloud. You are responsible for maintaining control over your content that is hosted on this infrastructure. You are also responsible for the security configuration and management tasks for the AWS services that you use. For more information about data privacy, see the [Data Privacy FAQ](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/data-privacy-faq/). For information about data protection in Europe, see the [AWS Shared Responsibility Model and GDPR](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/the-aws-shared-responsibility-model-and-gdpr/) blog post on the *AWS Security Blog*. For data protection purposes, we recommend that you protect AWS account credentials and set up individual users with AWS IAM Identity Center or AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). That way, each user is given only the permissions necessary to fulfill their job duties. We also recommend that you secure your data in the following ways: + Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) with each account. + Use SSL/TLS to communicate with AWS resources. We require TLS 1.2 and recommend TLS 1.3. + Set up API and user activity logging with AWS CloudTrail. For information about using CloudTrail trails to capture AWS activities, see [Working with CloudTrail trails](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-trails.html) in the *AWS CloudTrail User Guide*. + Use AWS encryption solutions, along with all default security controls within AWS services. + Use advanced managed security services such as Amazon Macie, which assists in discovering and securing sensitive data that is stored in Amazon S3. + If you require FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules when accessing AWS through a command line interface or an API, use a FIPS endpoint. For more information about the available FIPS endpoints, see [Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/fips/). We strongly recommend that you never put confidential or sensitive information, such as your customers' email addresses, into tags or free-form text fields such as a **Name** field. This includes when you work with Billing and Cost Management or other AWS services using the console, API, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. Any data that you enter into tags or free-form text fields used for names may be used for billing or diagnostic logs. If you provide a URL to an external server, we strongly recommend that you do not include credentials information in the URL to validate your request to that server. # Identity and Access Management for AWS Billing Identity and Access Management AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an AWS service that helps an administrator securely control access to AWS resources. IAM administrators control who can be *authenticated* (signed in) and *authorized* (have permissions) to use Billing resources. IAM is an AWS service that you can use with no additional charge. To start activating access to the Billing console, see [IAM tutorial: grant access to the Billing console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/tutorial_billing.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. ## User types and billing permissions This table summarizes the default actions that are permitted in Billing for each type of billing user. **User types and billing permissions** | User type | Description | Billing permissions | | --- | --- | --- | | Account owner | The person or entity in whose name your account is set up as. | [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/security-iam.html) | | User | A person or application defined as a user in an account by an account owner or administrative user. Accounts can contain multiple users. | [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/security-iam.html) | | Organization management account owner | The person or entity associated with an AWS Organizations management account. The management account pays for AWS usage that is incurred by a member account in an organization. | [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/security-iam.html) | | Organization member account owner | The person or entity associated with an AWS Organizations member account. The management account pays for AWS usage that is incurred by a member account in an organization. | [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/security-iam.html) | # Overview of managing access permissions Overview of managing access ## Granting access to your billing information and tools Grant access to billing information and tools By default, IAM users don't have access to the [AWS Billing and Cost Management console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/). When you create an AWS account, you begin with one sign-in identity called the AWS account *root user* that has complete access to all AWS services and resources. We strongly recommend that you don't use the root user for everyday tasks. For tasks that require root user credentials, see [Tasks that require root user credentials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_root-user.html#root-user-tasks) in the *IAM User Guide*. As an administrator, you can create roles under your AWS account that your users can assume. After you create roles, you can attach your IAM policy to them, based on the access needed. For example, you can grant some users limited access to some of your billing information and tools, and grant others complete access to all of the information and tools. To grant IAM entities access to the Billing and Cost Management console, complete the following: + [Activate IAM Access](#ControllingAccessWebsite-Activate) as the AWS account root user. You only need to complete this action once for your account. + Create your IAM identities, such as a user, group, or role. + Use an AWS managed policy or create a customer managed policy that grants permission to specific actions on the Billing and Cost Management console. For more information, see [Using identity-based policies for Billing](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md#billing-permissions-ref). For more information, see the [IAM tutorial: Grant access to the Billing console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/tutorial_billing.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. **Note** Permissions for Cost Explorer apply to all accounts and member accounts, regardless of the IAM policies. For more information, see [Controlling access to AWS Cost Explorer](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/latest/userguide/ce-access.html). ## Activating access to the Billing and Cost Management console IAM users and roles in an AWS account can't access the Billing and Cost Management console by default. This is true even if they have IAM policies that grant access to certain Billing features. To grant access, the AWS account root user can use the **Activate IAM Access** setting. If you use AWS Organizations, activate this setting in each management or member account where you want to allow IAM user and role access to the Billing and Cost Management console. For created member accounts this option will be enabled by default. For more information, see [Activating IAM access to the AWS Billing and Cost Management console](billing-getting-started.md#activating-iam-access-to-billing-console). On the Billing console, the **Activate IAM Access** setting controls access to the following pages: + Home + Budgets + Budgets Reports + AWS Cost and Usage Reports + Cost categories + Cost allocation tags + Bills + Payments + Credits + Purchase Order + Billing preferences + Payment methods + Tax settings + Cost Explorer + Reports + Rightsizing recommendations + Savings Plans recommendations + Savings Plans utilization report + Savings Plans coverage report + Reservations overview + Reservations recommendations + Reservations utilization report + Reservations coverage report + Preferences **Important** Activating IAM access alone doesn't grant roles the necessary permissions for these Billing and Cost Management console pages. In addition to activating IAM access, you must also attach the required IAM policies to those roles. For more information, see [Using identity-based policies for Billing](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md#billing-permissions-ref). The **Activate IAM Access** setting doesn't control access to the following pages and resources: + The console pages for AWS Cost Anomaly Detection, Savings Plans overview, Savings Plans inventory, Purchase Savings Plans, and Savings Plans cart + The Cost Management view in the AWS Console Mobile Application + The Billing and Cost Management SDK APIs (AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Budgets, and AWS Cost and Usage Reports APIs) + AWS Systems Manager Application Manager + The in-console AWS Pricing Calculator + The cost analysis capability in Amazon Q + The AWS Activate Console ## Audience How you use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) differs based on your role: + **Service user** - request permissions from your administrator if you cannot access features (see [Troubleshooting AWS Billing identity and access](security_iam_troubleshoot.md)) + **Service administrator** - determine user access and submit permission requests (see [How AWS Billing works with IAM](security_iam_service-with-iam.md)) + **IAM administrator** - write policies to manage access (see [Identity-based policy with AWS Billing](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md)) ## Authenticating with identities Authentication is how you sign in to AWS using your identity credentials. You must be authenticated as the AWS account root user, an IAM user, or by assuming an IAM role. You can sign in as a federated identity using credentials from an identity source like AWS IAM Identity Center (IAM Identity Center), single sign-on authentication, or Google/Facebook credentials. For more information about signing in, see [How to sign in to your AWS account](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/signin/latest/userguide/how-to-sign-in.html) in the *AWS Sign-In User Guide*. For programmatic access, AWS provides an SDK and CLI to cryptographically sign requests. For more information, see [AWS Signature Version 4 for API requests](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_sigv.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. ### AWS account root user When you create an AWS account, you begin with one sign-in identity called the AWS account *root user* that has complete access to all AWS services and resources. We strongly recommend that you don't use the root user for everyday tasks. For tasks that require root user credentials, see [Tasks that require root user credentials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_root-user.html#root-user-tasks) in the *IAM User Guide*. ### Federated identity As a best practice, require human users to use federation with an identity provider to access AWS services using temporary credentials. A *federated identity* is a user from your enterprise directory, web identity provider, or Directory Service that accesses AWS services using credentials from an identity source. Federated identities assume roles that provide temporary credentials. For centralized access management, we recommend AWS IAM Identity Center. For more information, see [What is IAM Identity Center?](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/what-is.html) in the *AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide*. ### IAM users and groups An *[IAM user](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users.html)* is an identity with specific permissions for a single person or application. We recommend using temporary credentials instead of IAM users with long-term credentials. For more information, see [Require human users to use federation with an identity provider to access AWS using temporary credentials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html#bp-users-federation-idp) in the *IAM User Guide*. An [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_groups.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_groups.html) specifies a collection of IAM users and makes permissions easier to manage for large sets of users. For more information, see [Use cases for IAM users](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/gs-identities-iam-users.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. ### IAM roles An *[IAM role](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles.html)* is an identity with specific permissions that provides temporary credentials. You can assume a role by [switching from a user to an IAM role (console)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use_switch-role-console.html) or by calling an AWS CLI or AWS API operation. For more information, see [Methods to assume a role](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_manage-assume.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. IAM roles are useful for federated user access, temporary IAM user permissions, cross-account access, cross-service access, and applications running on Amazon EC2. For more information, see [Cross account resource access in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies-cross-account-resource-access.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. ## Managing access using policies You control access in AWS by creating policies and attaching them to AWS identities or resources. A policy defines permissions when associated with an identity or resource. AWS evaluates these policies when a principal makes a request. Most policies are stored in AWS as JSON documents. For more information about JSON policy documents, see [Overview of JSON policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html#access_policies-json) in the *IAM User Guide*. Using policies, administrators specify who has access to what by defining which **principal** can perform **actions** on what **resources**, and under what **conditions**. By default, users and roles have no permissions. An IAM administrator creates IAM policies and adds them to roles, which users can then assume. IAM policies define permissions regardless of the method used to perform the operation. ### Identity-based policies Identity-based policies are JSON permissions policy documents that you attach to an identity (user, group, or role). These policies control what actions identities can perform, on which resources, and under what conditions. To learn how to create an identity-based policy, see [Define custom IAM permissions with customer managed policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_create.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. Identity-based policies can be *inline policies* (embedded directly into a single identity) or *managed policies* (standalone policies attached to multiple identities). To learn how to choose between managed and inline policies, see [Choose between managed policies and inline policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies-choosing-managed-or-inline.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. ### Resource-based policies Resource-based policies are JSON policy documents that you attach to a resource. Examples include IAM *role trust policies* and Amazon S3 *bucket policies*. In services that support resource-based policies, service administrators can use them to control access to a specific resource. You must [specify a principal](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements_principal.html) in a resource-based policy. Resource-based policies are inline policies that are located in that service. You can't use AWS managed policies from IAM in a resource-based policy. ### Other policy types AWS supports additional policy types that can set the maximum permissions granted by more common policy types: + **Permissions boundaries** – Set the maximum permissions that an identity-based policy can grant to an IAM entity. For more information, see [Permissions boundaries for IAM entities](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_boundaries.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. + **Service control policies (SCPs)** – Specify the maximum permissions for an organization or organizational unit in AWS Organizations. For more information, see [Service control policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_policies_scps.html) in the *AWS Organizations User Guide*. + **Resource control policies (RCPs)** – Set the maximum available permissions for resources in your accounts. For more information, see [Resource control policies (RCPs)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_policies_rcps.html) in the *AWS Organizations User Guide*. + **Session policies** – Advanced policies passed as a parameter when creating a temporary session for a role or federated user. For more information, see [Session policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html#policies_session) in the *IAM User Guide*. ### Multiple policy types When multiple types of policies apply to a request, the resulting permissions are more complicated to understand. To learn how AWS determines whether to allow a request when multiple policy types are involved, see [Policy evaluation logic](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_evaluation-logic.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. # How AWS Billing works with IAM Billing integrates with the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) service so that you can control who in your organization has access to specific pages on the [Billing console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/home). You can control access to invoices and detailed information about charges and account activity, budgets, payment methods, and credits. For more information about how to activate access to the Billing and Cost Management Console, see [Tutorial: Delegate Access to the Billing Console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/tutorial_billing.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. Before you use IAM to manage access to Billing, learn what IAM features are available to use with Billing. **IAM features you can use with AWS Billing** | IAM feature | Billing support | | --- | --- | | [Identity-based policies](#security_iam_service-with-iam-id-based-policies) | Yes | | [Resource-based policies](#security_iam_service-with-iam-resource-based-policies) | No | | [Policy actions](#security_iam_service-with-iam-id-based-policies-actions) | Yes | | [Policy resources](#security_iam_service-with-iam-id-based-policies-resources) | Partial | | [Policy condition keys](#security_iam_service-with-iam-id-based-policies-conditionkeys) | Yes | | [ACLs](#security_iam_service-with-iam-acls) | No | | [ABAC (tags in policies)](#security_iam_service-with-iam-tags) | Partial | | [Temporary credentials](#security_iam_service-with-iam-roles-tempcreds) | Yes | | [Forward access sessions (FAS)](#security_iam_service-with-iam-principal-permissions) | Yes | | [Service roles](#security_iam_service-with-iam-roles-service) | Yes | | [Service-linked roles](#security_iam_service-with-iam-roles-service-linked) | No | To get a high-level view of how Billing and other AWS services work with most IAM features, see [AWS services that work with IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-services-that-work-with-iam.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. ## Identity-based policies for Billing Identity-based policies **Supports identity-based policies:** Yes Identity-based policies are JSON permissions policy documents that you can attach to an identity, such as an IAM user, group of users, or role. These policies control what actions users and roles can perform, on which resources, and under what conditions. To learn how to create an identity-based policy, see [Define custom IAM permissions with customer managed policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_create.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. With IAM identity-based policies, you can specify allowed or denied actions and resources as well as the conditions under which actions are allowed or denied. To learn about all of the elements that you can use in a JSON policy, see [IAM JSON policy elements reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. ### Identity-based policy examples for Billing To view examples of Billing identity-based policies, see [Identity-based policy with AWS Billing](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md). ## Resource-based policies within Billing Resource-based policies **Supports resource-based policies:** No Resource-based policies are JSON policy documents that you attach to a resource. Examples of resource-based policies are IAM *role trust policies* and Amazon S3 *bucket policies*. In services that support resource-based policies, service administrators can use them to control access to a specific resource. For the resource where the policy is attached, the policy defines what actions a specified principal can perform on that resource and under what conditions. You must [specify a principal](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements_principal.html) in a resource-based policy. Principals can include accounts, users, roles, federated users, or AWS services. To enable cross-account access, you can specify an entire account or IAM entities in another account as the principal in a resource-based policy. For more information, see [Cross account resource access in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies-cross-account-resource-access.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. ## Policy actions for Billing Policy actions **Supports policy actions:** Yes Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which **principal** can perform **actions** on what **resources**, and under what **conditions**. The `Action` element of a JSON policy describes the actions that you can use to allow or deny access in a policy. Include actions in a policy to grant permissions to perform the associated operation. To see a list of Billing actions, see [Actions defined by AWS Billing](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_awsbilling.html) in the *Service Authorization Reference*. Policy actions in Billing use the following prefix before the action: ``` billing ``` To specify multiple actions in a single statement, separate them with commas. ``` "Action": [ "billing:action1", "billing:action2" ] ``` To view examples of Billing identity-based policies, see [Identity-based policy with AWS Billing](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md). ## Policy resources for Billing Policy resources **Supports policy resources:** Partial Policy resources are only supported for monitors, subscriptions, and cost categories. Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which **principal** can perform **actions** on what **resources**, and under what **conditions**. The `Resource` JSON policy element specifies the object or objects to which the action applies. As a best practice, specify a resource using its [Amazon Resource Name (ARN)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference-arns.html). For actions that don't support resource-level permissions, use a wildcard (\$1) to indicate that the statement applies to all resources. ``` "Resource": "*" ``` To see a list of AWS Cost Explorer resource types, see [Actions, resources, and condition keys for AWS Cost Explorer](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_awscostexplorerservice.html) in the *Service Authorization Reference*. To view examples of Billing identity-based policies, see [Identity-based policy with AWS Billing](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md). ## Policy condition keys for Billing Policy condition keys **Supports service-specific policy condition keys:** Yes Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which **principal** can perform **actions** on what **resources**, and under what **conditions**. The `Condition` element specifies when statements execute based on defined criteria. You can create conditional expressions that use [condition operators](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements_condition_operators.html), such as equals or less than, to match the condition in the policy with values in the request. To see all AWS global condition keys, see [AWS global condition context keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_condition-keys.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. To see a list of Billing condition keys, actions, and resources, see [Condition keys for AWS Billing](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_awsbilling.html) in the *Service Authorization Reference*. To view examples of Billing identity-based policies, see [Identity-based policy with AWS Billing](security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md). ## Access control lists (ACLs) in Billing ACLs **Supports ACLs:** No Access control lists (ACLs) control which principals (account members, users, or roles) have permissions to access a resource. ACLs are similar to resource-based policies, although they do not use the JSON policy document format. ## Attribute-based access control (ABAC) with Billing ABAC **Supports ABAC (tags in policies):** Partial ABAC (tags in policies) are only supported for monitors, subscriptions, and cost categories. Attribute-based access control (ABAC) is an authorization strategy that defines permissions based on attributes called tags. You can attach tags to IAM entities and AWS resources, then design ABAC policies to allow operations when the principal's tag matches the tag on the resource. To control access based on tags, you provide tag information in the [condition element](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements_condition.html) of a policy using the `aws:ResourceTag/key-name`, `aws:RequestTag/key-name`, or `aws:TagKeys` condition keys. If a service supports all three condition keys for every resource type, then the value is **Yes** for the service. If a service supports all three condition keys for only some resource types, then the value is **Partial**. For more information about ABAC, see [Define permissions with ABAC authorization](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/introduction_attribute-based-access-control.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. To view a tutorial with steps for setting up ABAC, see [Use attribute-based access control (ABAC)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/tutorial_attribute-based-access-control.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. ## Using Temporary credentials with Billing Temporary credentials **Supports temporary credentials:** Yes Temporary credentials provide short-term access to AWS resources and are automatically created when you use federation or switch roles. AWS recommends that you dynamically generate temporary credentials instead of using long-term access keys. For more information, see [Temporary security credentials in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html) and [AWS services that work with IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-services-that-work-with-iam.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. ## Forward access sessions for Billing Forward access sessions **Supports forward access sessions (FAS):** Yes Forward access sessions (FAS) use the permissions of the principal calling an AWS service, combined with the requesting AWS service to make requests to downstream services. For policy details when making FAS requests, see [Forward access sessions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_forward_access_sessions.html). ## Service roles for Billing Service roles **Supports service roles:** Yes A service role is an [IAM role](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles.html) that a service assumes to perform actions on your behalf. An IAM administrator can create, modify, and delete a service role from within IAM. For more information, see [Create a role to delegate permissions to an AWS service](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_create_for-service.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. **Warning** Changing the permissions for a service role might break Billing functionality. Edit service roles only when Billing provides guidance to do so. ## Service-linked roles for Billing Service-linked roles **Supports service-linked roles:** No A service-linked role is a type of service role that is linked to an AWS service. The service can assume the role to perform an action on your behalf. Service-linked roles appear in your AWS account and are owned by the service. An IAM administrator can view, but not edit the permissions for service-linked roles. For details about creating or managing service-linked roles, see [AWS services that work with IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-services-that-work-with-iam.html). Find a service in the table that includes a `Yes` in the **Service-linked role** column. Choose the **Yes** link to view the service-linked role documentation for that service. # Identity-based policy with AWS Billing Identity-based policy with Billing By default, users and roles don't have permission to create or modify Billing resources. To grant users permission to perform actions on the resources that they need, an IAM administrator can create IAM policies. To learn how to create an IAM identity-based policy by using these example JSON policy documents, see [Create IAM policies (console)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_create-console.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. For details about actions and resource types defined by Billing, including the format of the ARNs for each of the resource types, see [Actions, resources, and condition keys for AWS Billing](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_awsbilling.html) in the *Service Authorization Reference*. **Contents** + [ ## Policy best practices ](#security_iam_service-with-iam-policy-best-practices) + [ ## Using the Billing console ](#security_iam_id-based-policy-examples-console) + [ ## Allow users to view their own permissions ](#security_iam_id-based-policy-examples-view-own-permissions) + [ ## Using identity-based policies for Billing ](#billing-permissions-ref) + [ ### AWS Billing console actions ](#user-permissions) ## Policy best practices Identity-based policies determine whether someone can create, access, or delete Billing resources in your account. These actions can incur costs for your AWS account. When you create or edit identity-based policies, follow these guidelines and recommendations: + **Get started with AWS managed policies and move toward least-privilege permissions** – To get started granting permissions to your users and workloads, use the *AWS managed policies* that grant permissions for many common use cases. They are available in your AWS account. We recommend that you reduce permissions further by defining AWS customer managed policies that are specific to your use cases. For more information, see [AWS managed policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_managed-vs-inline.html#aws-managed-policies) or [AWS managed policies for job functions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_job-functions.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. + **Apply least-privilege permissions** – When you set permissions with IAM policies, grant only the permissions required to perform a task. You do this by defining the actions that can be taken on specific resources under specific conditions, also known as *least-privilege permissions*. For more information about using IAM to apply permissions, see [ Policies and permissions in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. + **Use conditions in IAM policies to further restrict access** – You can add a condition to your policies to limit access to actions and resources. For example, you can write a policy condition to specify that all requests must be sent using SSL. You can also use conditions to grant access to service actions if they are used through a specific AWS service, such as CloudFormation. For more information, see [ IAM JSON policy elements: Condition](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements_condition.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. + **Use IAM Access Analyzer to validate your IAM policies to ensure secure and functional permissions** – IAM Access Analyzer validates new and existing policies so that the policies adhere to the IAM policy language (JSON) and IAM best practices. IAM Access Analyzer provides more than 100 policy checks and actionable recommendations to help you author secure and functional policies. For more information, see [Validate policies with IAM Access Analyzer](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access-analyzer-policy-validation.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. + **Require multi-factor authentication (MFA)** – If you have a scenario that requires IAM users or a root user in your AWS account, turn on MFA for additional security. To require MFA when API operations are called, add MFA conditions to your policies. For more information, see [ Secure API access with MFA](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_mfa_configure-api-require.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. For more information about best practices in IAM, see [Security best practices in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. ## Using the Billing console Using the console To access the AWS Billing console, you must have a minimum set of permissions. These permissions must allow you to list and view details about the Billing resources in your AWS account. If you create an identity-based policy that is more restrictive than the minimum required permissions, the console won't function as intended for entities (users or roles) with that policy. You don't need to allow minimum console permissions for users that are making calls only to the AWS CLI or the AWS API. Instead, allow access to only the actions that match the API operation that they're trying to perform. You can find access details such as permissions required to enable AWS Billing console, administrator access, and read-only access in the [AWS managed policies](managed-policies.md) section. ## Allow users to view their own permissions This example shows how you might create a policy that allows IAM users to view the inline and managed policies that are attached to their user identity. This policy includes permissions to complete this action on the console or programmatically using the AWS CLI or AWS API. ``` { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "ViewOwnUserInfo", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "iam:GetUserPolicy", "iam:ListGroupsForUser", "iam:ListAttachedUserPolicies", "iam:ListUserPolicies", "iam:GetUser" ], "Resource": ["arn:aws:iam::*:user/${aws:username}"] }, { "Sid": "NavigateInConsole", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "iam:GetGroupPolicy", "iam:GetPolicyVersion", "iam:GetPolicy", "iam:ListAttachedGroupPolicies", "iam:ListGroupPolicies", "iam:ListPolicyVersions", "iam:ListPolicies", "iam:ListUsers" ], "Resource": "*" } ] } ``` ## Using identity-based policies for Billing Using IAM policies for Billing **Note** The following AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) actions have reached the end of standard support on July 2023: `aws-portal` namespace `purchase-orders:ViewPurchaseOrders` `purchase-orders:ModifyPurchaseOrders` If you're using AWS Organizations, you can use the [bulk policy migrator scripts](migrate-iam-permissions.md) or bulk policy migrator to update polices from your payer account. You can also use the [old to granular action mapping reference](migrate-granularaccess-iam-mapping-reference.md) to verify the IAM actions that need to be added. If you have an AWS account, or are a part of an AWS Organizations created on or after March 6, 2023, 11:00 AM (PDT), the fine-grained actions are already in effect in your organization. **Important** In addition to IAM policies, you must grant IAM access to the Billing and Cost Management console on the [Account Settings](https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home#/account) console page. For more information, see the following topics: [Activating access to the Billing and Cost Management console](control-access-billing.md#ControllingAccessWebsite-Activate) [IAM tutorial: Grant access to the billing console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/tutorial_billing.html) in the *IAM User Guide* Use this section to see how an identity-based policies account administrator can attach permissions policies to IAM identities (roles and groups) and grant permissions to perform operations on Billing resources. For more information about AWS accounts and users, see [What Is IAM?](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/IAM_Introduction.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. For information on how you can update customer managed policies, see [Editing customer managed policies (console)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_manage-edit.html#edit-managed-policy-console) in the *IAM User Guide*. ### AWS Billing console actions This table summarizes the permissions that grant access to your billing console information and tools. For examples of policies that use these permissions, see [AWS Billing policy examples](billing-example-policies.md). For a list of actions policies for the AWS Cost Management console, see [AWS Cost Management actions policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/latest/userguide/billing-permissions-ref.html#user-permissions) in the *AWS Cost Management User Guide*. | Permission name | Description | | --- | --- | | aws-portal:ViewBilling | Grants permission to view the Billing and Cost Management console pages. | | aws-portal:ModifyBilling | Grants permission to modify the following Billing and Cost Management console pages: [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.html) To allow IAM users to modify these console pages, you must allow both `ModifyBilling` and `ViewBilling`.

Use this policy in combination with other policies that allow specific actions. ------ #### [ JSON ] **** ``` { "Version":"2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Deny", "Action": [ "aws-portal:*", "iam:*" ], "Resource": "*" } ] } ``` ------ ## Allow IAM users to view the Billing and Cost Management consoles except for account settings This policy allows read-only access to all of the Billing and Cost Management console. This includes the **Payments Method** and **Reports** console pages. However, this policy denies access to the **Account Settings** page. This means it protects the account password, contact information, and security questions. ------ #### [ JSON ] **** ``` { "Version":"2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "aws-portal:View*", "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Deny", "Action": "aws-portal:*Account", "Resource": "*" } ] } ``` ------ ## Allow IAM users to modify billing information To allow IAM users to modify account billing information in the Billing and Cost Management console, allow IAM users to view your billing information. The following policy example allows an IAM user to modify the **Consolidated Billing**, **Preferences**, and **Credits** console pages. It also allows an IAM user to view the following Billing and Cost Management console pages: + **Dashboard** + **Cost Explorer** + **Bills** + **Orders and invoices** + **Advance Payment** ------ #### [ JSON ] **** ``` { "Version":"2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "aws-portal:*Billing", "Resource": "*" } ] } ``` ------ ## Deny access to account settings, but allow full access to all other billing and usage information To protect your account password, contact information, and security questions, deny IAM user access to **Account Settings** while still enabling full access to the rest of the functionality in the Billing and Cost Management console. The following is an example policy. ------ #### [ JSON ] **** ``` { "Version":"2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "aws-portal:*Billing", "aws-portal:*Usage", "aws-portal:*PaymentMethods" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Deny", "Action": "aws-portal:*Account", "Resource": "*" } ] } ``` ------ ## Deposit reports into an Amazon S3 bucket The following policy allows Billing and Cost Management to save your detailed AWS bills to an Amazon S3 bucket if you own both the AWS account and the Amazon S3 bucket. This policy must be applied to the Amazon S3 bucket, rather than an IAM user. This is because it's a resource-based policy, not a user-based policy. We recommend that you deny IAM user access to the bucket for IAM users who don't need access to your bills. Replace *amzn-s3-demo-bucket1* with the name of your bucket.

You can also use the [old to granular action mapping reference](migrate-granularaccess-iam-mapping-reference.md) to verify the IAM actions that need to be added. If you have an AWS account, or are a part of an AWS Organizations created on or after March 6, 2023, 11:00 AM (PDT), the fine-grained actions are already in effect in your organization. You can use fine-grained access controls to provide individuals in your organization access to AWS Billing and Cost Management services. For example, you can provide access to Cost Explorer without providing access to the Billing and Cost Management console. To use the fine-grained access controls, you'll need to migrate your policies from under `aws-portal` to the new IAM actions. The following IAM actions in your permission policies or service control policies (SCP) require updating with this migration: + `aws-portal:ViewAccount` + `aws-portal:ViewBilling` + `aws-portal:ViewPaymentMethods` + `aws-portal:ViewUsage` + `aws-portal:ModifyAccount` + `aws-portal:ModifyBilling` + `aws-portal:ModifyPaymentMethods` + `purchase-orders:ViewPurchaseOrders` + `purchase-orders:ModifyPurchaseOrders` To learn how to use the **Affected policies** tool to identify your impacted IAM policies, see [How to use the affected policies tool](migrate-security-iam-tool.md). **Note** API access to AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Cost and Usage Reports, and AWS Budgets remains unaffected.

This includes features like Payments, Billing, Credits, Free Tier, Payment preferences, Consolidated billing, Tax settings, and Account pages. Use the following IAM permissions for granular control for the Billing and Cost Management console. To provide fine-grained access, replace the `aws-portal` policy with `account`, `billing`, `payments`, `freetier`, `invoicing`, `tax`, and `consolidatedbilling`. Additionally, replace `purchase-orders:ViewPurchaseOrders` and `purchase-orders:ModifyPurchaseOrders` with the fine-grained actions under `purchase-orders`, `account`, and `payments`. ### Using fine-grained AWS Billing actions This table summarizes the permissions that allow or deny IAM users and roles access to your billing information. For examples of policies that use these permissions, see [AWS Billing policy examples](billing-example-policies.md). For a list of actions for the AWS Cost Management console, see [AWS Cost Management actions policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/latest/userguide/billing-permissions-ref.html#user-permissions) in the *AWS Cost Management User Guide*.

If you have an AWS account, or are a part of an AWS Organizations created on or after March 6, 2023, 11:00 AM (PDT), the fine-grained actions are already in effect in your organization. This section covers how you can use the [AWS Billing and Cost Management console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/) to migrate your legacy policies from your Organizations accounts or standard accounts to the fine-grained actions in bulk. You can complete migrating your legacy policies using the console in two ways: **Using the AWS recommended migration process** This is a streamlined, single-action process where you migrates legacy actions to the fine-grained actions as mapped by AWS. For more information, see [Using recommended actions to bulk migrate legacy policies](migrate-console-streamlined.md). **Using the customized migration process** This process allows you to review and change the actions recommended by AWS prior to the bulk migration, as well as customize which accounts in your organization are migrated. For more information, see [Customizing actions to bulk migrate legacy policies](migrate-console-customized.md). ## Prerequisites for bulk migrating using the console Prerequisites Both migration options require you to consent in the console so that AWS can recommend fine-grained actions to the legacy IAM actions you have assigned. To do this, you will need to login to your AWS account as an [IAM principal](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements_principal.html) with the following IAM actions to continue with the policy updates. ------ #### [ Management account ] ``` // Required to view page "ce:GetConsoleActionSetEnforced", "aws-portal:GetConsoleActionSetEnforced", "purchase-orders:GetConsoleActionSetEnforced", "ce:UpdateConsoleActionSetEnforced", "aws-portal:UpdateConsoleActionSetEnforced", "purchase-orders:UpdateConsoleActionSetEnforced", "iam:GetAccountAuthorizationDetails", "s3:CreateBucket", "s3:DeleteObject", "s3:ListAllMyBuckets", "s3:GetObject", "s3:PutObject", "s3:ListBucket", "s3:PutBucketAcl", "s3:PutEncryptionConfiguration", "s3:PutBucketVersioning", "s3:PutBucketPublicAccessBlock", "lambda:GetFunction", "lambda:DeleteFunction", "lambda:CreateFunction", "lambda:InvokeFunction", "lambda:RemovePermission", "scheduler:GetSchedule", "scheduler:DeleteSchedule", "scheduler:CreateSchedule", "cloudformation:ActivateOrganizationsAccess", "cloudformation:CreateStackSet", "cloudformation:CreateStackInstances", "cloudformation:DescribeStackSet", "cloudformation:DescribeStackSetOperation", "cloudformation:ListStackSets", "cloudformation:DeleteStackSet", "cloudformation:DeleteStackInstances", "cloudformation:ListStacks", "cloudformation:ListStackInstances", "cloudformation:ListStackSetOperations", "cloudformation:CreateStack", "cloudformation:UpdateStackInstances", "cloudformation:UpdateStackSet", "cloudformation:DescribeStacks", "ec2:DescribeRegions", "iam:GetPolicy", "iam:GetPolicyVersion", "iam:GetUserPolicy", "iam:GetGroupPolicy", "iam:GetRole", "iam:GetRolePolicy", "iam:CreatePolicyVersion", "iam:DeletePolicyVersion", "iam:ListAttachedRolePolicies", "iam:ListPolicyVersions", "iam:PutUserPolicy", "iam:PutGroupPolicy", "iam:PutRolePolicy", "iam:SetDefaultPolicyVersion", "iam:GenerateServiceLastAccessedDetails", "iam:GetServiceLastAccessedDetails", "iam:GenerateOrganizationsAccessReport", "iam:GetOrganizationsAccessReport", "organizations:ListAccounts", "organizations:ListPolicies", "organizations:DescribePolicy", "organizations:UpdatePolicy", "organizations:DescribeOrganization", "organizations:ListAccountsForParent", "organizations:ListRoots", "sts:AssumeRole", "sso:ListInstances", "sso:ListPermissionSets", "sso:GetInlinePolicyForPermissionSet", "sso:DescribePermissionSet", "sso:PutInlinePolicyToPermissionSet", "sso:ProvisionPermissionSet", "sso:DescribePermissionSetProvisioningStatus", "notifications:ListNotificationHubs" // Added to ensure Notifications API does not return 403 ``` ------ #### [ Member account or standard account ] ``` // Required to view page "ce:GetConsoleActionSetEnforced", "aws-portal:GetConsoleActionSetEnforced", "purchase-orders:GetConsoleActionSetEnforced", "ce:UpdateConsoleActionSetEnforced", // Not needed for member account "aws-portal:UpdateConsoleActionSetEnforced", // Not needed for member account "purchase-orders:UpdateConsoleActionSetEnforced", // Not needed for member account "iam:GetAccountAuthorizationDetails", "ec2:DescribeRegions", "s3:CreateBucket", "s3:DeleteObject", "s3:ListAllMyBuckets", "s3:GetObject", "s3:PutObject", "s3:ListBucket", "s3:PutBucketAcl", "s3:PutEncryptionConfiguration", "s3:PutBucketVersioning", "s3:PutBucketPublicAccessBlock", "iam:GetPolicy", "iam:GetPolicyVersion", "iam:GetUserPolicy", "iam:GetGroupPolicy", "iam:GetRolePolicy", "iam:GetRole", "iam:CreatePolicyVersion", "iam:DeletePolicyVersion", "iam:ListAttachedRolePolicies", "iam:ListPolicyVersions", "iam:PutUserPolicy", "iam:PutGroupPolicy", "iam:PutRolePolicy", "iam:SetDefaultPolicyVersion", "iam:GenerateServiceLastAccessedDetails", "iam:GetServiceLastAccessedDetails", "notifications:ListNotificationHubs" // Added to ensure Notifications API does not return 403 ``` ------ **Topics** + [ ## Prerequisites for bulk migrating using the console ](#migrate-granularaccess-console-prereq) + [ # Using recommended actions to bulk migrate legacy policies ](migrate-console-streamlined.md) + [ # Customizing actions to bulk migrate legacy policies ](migrate-console-customized.md) + [ # Rollingback your bulk migration policy changes ](migrate-console-rollback.md) + [ ## Confirming your migration ](#migrate-console-complete) # Using recommended actions to bulk migrate legacy policies Using the AWS recommended actions You can migrate all of your legacy policies by using the fine-grained actions mapped by AWS. For AWS Organizations, this applies to all legacy policies across all accounts. Once you complete your migration process, the fine-grained actions are effective. You have the option to test the bulk migration process using test accounts before committing your entire organization. For more information, see the following section. **To migrate all of your policies using fine-grained actions mapped by AWS** 1. Sign in to the [AWS Management Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/). 1. In the search bar at the top of the page, enter **Bulk Policy Migrator**. 1. On the **Manage new IAM actions** page, choose **Confirm and migrate**. 1. Remain on the **Migration in progress** page until the migration is complete. See the status bar for progress. 1. Once the **Migration in progress** section updates to **Migration successful**, you are redirected to the **Manage new IAM actions** page. ## Testing your bulk migration Testing bulk migration You can test the bulk migration from legacy policies to AWS recommended fine-grained actions using test accounts before committing to migrating your entire organization. Once you complete your migration process on your test accounts, the fine-grained actions are applied to your test accounts. **To use your test accounts for bulk migration** 1. Sign in to the [AWS Management Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/). 1. In the search bar at the top of the page, enter **Bulk Policy Migrator**. 1. On the **Manage new IAM actions** page, choose **Customize**. 1. Once the accounts and policies load in the **Migrate accounts** table, select one or more test accounts from the list of AWS accounts. 1. (Optional) To change the mapping between your legacy policy and AWS recommended fine-grained actions, choose **View default mapping**. Change the mapping, and choose **Save**. 1. Choose **Confirm and migrate**. 1. Remain on the console page until migration is complete. # Customizing actions to bulk migrate legacy policies Customizing your fine-grained actions You can customize your bulk migration in various ways, instead of using the AWS recommended action for all of your accounts. You have the option to review any changes needed to your legacy policies before migrating, choose specific accounts in your Organizations to migrate at a time, and change the access range by updating the mapped fine-grained actions. **To review your affected policies before bulk migrating** 1. Sign in to the [AWS Management Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/). 1. In the search bar at the top of the page, enter **Bulk Policy Migrator**. 1. On the **Manage new IAM actions** page, choose **Customize**. 1. Once the accounts and policies load in the **Migrate accounts** table, choose the number in the **Number of affected IAM policies** column to see the affected policies. You will also see when that policy was used last to access the Billing and Cost Management consoles. 1. Choose a policy name to open it in the IAM console to view definitions and manually update the policy. **Notes** Doing this might log you out of your current account if the policy is from another member account. You won't be redirected to the corresponding IAM page if your current account has a bulk migration in progress. 1. (Optional) Choose **View default mapping** to see the legacy policies to understand the fine-grained policy mapped by AWS. **To migrate a select group of accounts to migrate from your organization** 1. Sign in to the [AWS Management Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/). 1. In the search bar at the top of the page, enter **Bulk Policy Migrator**. 1. On the **Manage new IAM actions** page, choose **Customize**. 1. Once the accounts and policies load in the **Migrate accounts** table, select one or more accounts to migrate. 1. Choose **Confirm and migrate**. 1. Remain on the console page until migration is complete. **To change the access range by updating the mapped fine-grained actions** 1. Sign in to the [AWS Management Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/). 1. In the search bar at the top of the page, enter **Bulk Policy Migrator**. 1. On the **Manage new IAM actions** page, choose **Customize**. 1. Choose **View default mapping**. 1. Choose **Edit**. 1. Add or remove IAM actions for the Billing and Cost Management services you want to control access to. For more information about fine-grained actions and the access it controls, see [Mapping fine-grained IAM actions reference](migrate-granularaccess-iam-mapping-reference.md). 1. Choose **Save changes**. The updated mapping is used for all future migrations from the account you're logged into. This can be changed at any time. # Rollingback your bulk migration policy changes Rollingback to legacy actions You can rollback all policy changes you make during the bulk migration process safely, using the steps provided in the bulk migration tool. The rollback feature works at an account-level. You can rollback policy updates for all accounts, or specific groups of migrated accounts. However, you can't rollback changes for specific policies in an account. **To rollback bulk migration changes** 1. Sign in to the [AWS Management Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/). 1. In the search bar at the top of the page, enter **Bulk Policy Migrator**. 1. On the **Manage new IAM actions** page, choose the **Rollback changes** tab. 1. Select any accounts to rollback. The accounts must have `Migrated` showing in the **Rollback status** column. 1. Choose **Rollback changes** button. 1. Remain on the console page until rollback is complete. ## Confirming your migration You can see if there are any AWS Organizations accounts that still need to migrate by using the migration tool. **To confirm if all accounts migrated** 1. Sign in to the [AWS Management Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/). 1. In the search bar at the top of the page, enter **Bulk Policy Migrator**. 1. On the **Manage new IAM actions** page, choose the **Migrate accounts** tab. All accounts have migrated successfully if the table doesn't show any remaining accounts. # How to use the affected policies tool **Note** The following AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) actions have reached the end of standard support on July 2023: `aws-portal` namespace `purchase-orders:ViewPurchaseOrders` `purchase-orders:ModifyPurchaseOrders` If you're using AWS Organizations, you can use the [bulk policy migrator scripts](migrate-iam-permissions.md) or bulk policy migrator to update polices from your payer account. You can also use the [old to granular action mapping reference](migrate-granularaccess-iam-mapping-reference.md) to verify the IAM actions that need to be added. If you have an AWS account, or are a part of an AWS Organizations created on or after March 6, 2023, 11:00 AM (PDT), the fine-grained actions are already in effect in your organization. You can use the **Affected policies** tool in the Billing console to identify IAM policies (excluding SCPs), and reference the IAM actions affected by this migration. Use the **Affected policies** tool to do the following tasks: + Identify IAM policies and reference the IAM actions affected by this migration + Copy the updated policy to your clipboard + Open the affected policy in IAM policy editor + Save the updated policy for your account + Turn on the fine-grained permissions and disable the old actions This tool operates within the boundaries of the AWS account you're signed into, and information regarding other AWS Organizations accounts are not disclosed. **To use the Affected policies tool** 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Billing and Cost Management console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/costmanagement/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/costmanagement/). 1. Paste the following URL into your browser to access the **Affected policies** tool: [https://console.aws.amazon.com/poliden/home?region=us-east-1#/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/poliden/home?region=us-east-1#/). **Note** You must have the `iam:GetAccountAuthorizationDetails` permission to view this page. 1. Review the table that lists the affected IAM policies. Use the **Deprecated IAM actions** column to review specific IAM actions referenced in a policy. 1. Under the **Copy updated policy** column, choose **Copy** to copy the updated policy to your clipboard. The updated policy contains the existing policy and the suggested fine-grained actions appended to it as a separate `Sid` block. This block has the prefix `AffectedPoliciesMigrator` at the end of the policy. 1. Under the **Edit Policy in IAM Console** column, choose **Edit** to go to IAM policy editor. You will see the JSON of your existing policy. 1. Replace the entire existing policy with the updated policy that you copied in step 4. You can make any other changes as needed. 1. Choose **Next** and then choose **Save changes**. 1. Repeat steps 3 to 7 for all affected policies. 1. After you update your policies, refresh the **Affected policies** tool to confirm there are no affected policies listed. The **New IAM Actions Found** column should have **Yes** for all policies and the **Copy** and **Edit** buttons will be disabled. Your affected policies are updated. **To enable fine-grained actions for your account** After you update your policies, follow this procedure to enable the fine-grained actions for your account. Only the management account (payer) of an organization or individual accounts can use the **Manage New IAM Actions** section. An individual account can enable the new actions for itself. A management account can enable new actions for the entire organization or a subset of member accounts. If you're a management account, update the affected policies for all member accounts and enable the new actions for your organization. For more information, see the [How to toggle accounts between new fine-grained actions or existing IAM actions?](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws-cloud-financial-management/changes-to-aws-billing-cost-management-and-account-consoles-permissions/#How-to-toggle-accounts-between-new-fine-grained-actions-or-existing-IAM-Actions) section in the AWS blog post. **Note** To do this, you must have the following permissions: `aws-portal:GetConsoleActionSetEnforced` `aws-portal:UpdateConsoleActionSetEnforced` `ce:GetConsoleActionSetEnforced` `ce:UpdateConsoleActionSetEnforced` `purchase-orders:GetConsoleActionSetEnforced` `purchase-orders:UpdateConsoleActionSetEnforced` If you don't see the **Manage New IAM Actions** section, this means your account has already enabled the fine-grained IAM actions. 1. Under **Manage New IAM Actions**, the **Current Action Set Enforced** setting will have the **Existing** status. Choose **Enable New actions (Fine Grained)** and then choose **Apply changes**. 1. In the dialog box, choose **Yes**. The **Current Action Set Enforced** status will change to **Fine Grained**. This means the new actions are enforced for your AWS account or for your organization. 1. (Optional) You can then update your existing policies to remove any of the old actions. **Example: Before and after IAM policy** The following IAM policy has the old `aws-portal:ViewPaymentMethods` action. ``` { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "aws-portal:ViewPaymentMethods" ], "Resource": "*" } ] } ``` After you copy the updated policy, the following example has the new `Sid` block with the fine-grained actions. ``` { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "aws-portal:ViewPaymentMethods" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Sid": "AffectedPoliciesMigrator0", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "account:GetAccountInformation", "invoicing:GetInvoicePDF", "payments:GetPaymentInstrument", "payments:GetPaymentStatus", "payments:ListPaymentPreferences" ], "Resource": "*" } ] } ``` ## Related resources For more information, see [Sid](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_elements_sid.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. For more information about the new fine-grained actions, see the [Mapping fine-grained IAM actions reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/migrate-granularaccess-iam-mapping-reference.html) and [Using fine-grained Billing actions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/migrate-granularaccess-whatis.html#migrate-user-permissions). # Use scripts to bulk migrate your policies to use fine-grained IAM actions **Note** The following AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) actions have reached the end of standard support on July 2023: `aws-portal` namespace `purchase-orders:ViewPurchaseOrders` `purchase-orders:ModifyPurchaseOrders` If you're using AWS Organizations, you can use the [bulk policy migrator scripts](#migrate-iam-permissions) or bulk policy migrator to update polices from your payer account. You can also use the [old to granular action mapping reference](migrate-granularaccess-iam-mapping-reference.md) to verify the IAM actions that need to be added. If you have an AWS account, or are a part of an AWS Organizations created on or after March 6, 2023, 11:00 AM (PDT), the fine-grained actions are already in effect in your organization. To help migrate your IAM policies to use new actions, known as fine-grained actions, you can use scripts from the [AWS Samples](https://github.com/aws-samples/bulk-policy-migrator-scripts-for-account-cost-billing-consoles) website. You run these scripts from the payer account of your organization to identify the following affected policies in your organization that use the old IAM actions: + Customer managed IAM policies + Role, group, and user IAM inline policies + Service control policies (SCPs) (applies to the payer account only) + Permission sets The scripts generate suggestions for new actions that correspond to existing actions that are used in the policy. You then review the suggestions and use the scripts to add the new actions across all affected policies in your organization. You don't need to update AWS managed policies or AWS managed SCPs (for example, AWS Control Tower and AWS Organizations SCPs). You use these scripts to: + Streamline the policy updates to help you manage the affected policies from the payer account. + Reduce the amount of time that you need to update the policies. You don't need to sign into each member account and manually update the policies. + Group identical policies from different member accounts together. You can then review and apply the same updates across all identical policies, instead of reviewing them one by one. + Ensure that user access remains unaffected after AWS retires the old IAM actions on July 6, 2023. For more information about policies and service control policies (SCPs), see the following topics: + [Managing IAM policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_manage.html) in the *IAM User Guide* + [Service control policies (SCPs)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_policies_scps.html) in the *AWS Organizations User Guide* + [Custom permissions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/permissionsetcustom.html) in the *IAM Identity Center User Guide* ## Overview Follow this topic to complete the following steps: **Topics** + [ ## Overview ](#overview-bulk-migrate-policies) + [ ## Prerequisites ](#prerequisites-running-the-scripts) + [ ## Step 1: Set up your environment ](#set-up-your-environment-and-download-the-scripts) + [ ## Step 2: Create the CloudFormation StackSet ](#create-the-cloudformation-stack) + [ ## Step 3: Identify the affected policies ](#identify-the-affected-policies) + [ ## Step 4: Review the suggested changes ](#review-the-affected-policies) + [ ## Step 5: Update the affected policies ](#update-the-affected-policies) + [ ## Step 6: Revert your changes (Optional) ](#revert-changes) + [ ## IAM policy examples ](#examples-of-similar-policies) ## Prerequisites To get started, you must do the following: + Download and install [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/) + Sign in to your payer account and verify that you have an IAM principal that has the following IAM permissions: ``` "iam:GetAccountAuthorizationDetails", "iam:GetPolicy", "iam:GetPolicyVersion", "iam:GetUserPolicy", "iam:GetGroupPolicy", "iam:GetRole", "iam:GetRolePolicy", "iam:CreatePolicyVersion", "iam:DeletePolicyVersion", "iam:ListAttachedRolePolicies", "iam:ListPolicyVersions", "iam:PutUserPolicy", "iam:PutGroupPolicy", "iam:PutRolePolicy", "iam:SetDefaultPolicyVersion", "organizations:ListAccounts", "organizations:ListPolicies", "organizations:DescribePolicy", "organizations:UpdatePolicy", "organizations:DescribeOrganization", "sso:DescribePermissionSet", "sso:DescribePermissionSetProvisioningStatus", "sso:GetInlinePolicyForPermissionSet", "sso:ListInstances", "sso:ListPermissionSets", "sso:ProvisionPermissionSet", "sso:PutInlinePolicyToPermissionSet", "sts:AssumeRole" ``` **Tip** To get started, we recommend that you use a subset of an account, such as a test account, to verify that the suggested changes are expected. You can then run the scripts again for remaining accounts in your organization. ## Step 1: Set up your environment To get started, download the required files from the [AWS Samples](https://github.com/aws-samples/bulk-policy-migrator-scripts-for-account-cost-billing-consoles) website. You then run commands to set up your environment. **To set up your environment** 1. Clone the repository from the [AWS Samples](https://github.com/aws-samples/bulk-policy-migrator-scripts-for-account-cost-billing-consoles) website. In a command line window, you can use the following command: ``` git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/bulk-policy-migrator-scripts-for-account-cost-billing-consoles.git ``` 1. Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the files. You can use the following command: ``` cd bulk-policy-migrator-scripts-for-account-cost-billing-consoles ``` In the repository, you can find the following scripts and resources: + `billing_console_policy_migrator_role.json` – The CloudFormation template that creates the `BillingConsolePolicyMigratorRole` IAM role in member accounts of your organization. This role allows the scripts to assume the role, and then read and update the affected policies. + `action_mapping_config.json`– Contains the one-to-many mapping of the old actions to the new actions. The scripts use this file to suggest the new actions for each affected policy that contains the old actions. Each old action corresponds to multiple fine-grained actions. The new actions suggested in the file provide users access to the same AWS services before the migration. + `identify_affected_policies.py` – Scans and identifies affected policies in your organization. This script generates a `affected_policies_and_suggestions.json` file that lists the affected policies along with the suggested new actions. Affected policies that use the same set of old actions are grouped together in the JSON file, so that you can review or update the suggested new actions. + `update_affected_policies.py` – Updates the affected policies in your organization. The script inputs the`affected_policies_and_suggestions.json` file, and then adds the suggested new actions to the policies. + `rollback_affected_policies.py` – (Optional) Reverts changes made to the affected policies. This script removes the new fine-grained actions from the affected policies. 1. Run the following commands to set up and activate the virtual environment. ``` python3 -m venv venv ``` ``` source venv/bin/activate ``` 1. Run the following command to install the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) dependency. ``` pip install -r requirements.txt ``` **Note** You must configure your AWS credentials to use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). For more information, see [AWS SDK for Python (Boto3)](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html). For more information, see the [README.md](https://github.com/aws-samples/bulk-policy-migrator-scripts-for-account-cost-billing-consoles#readme) file. ## Step 2: Create the CloudFormation StackSet Follow this procedure to create a CloudFormation *stack set*. This stack set then creates the `BillingConsolePolicyMigratorRole` IAM role for all member accounts in your organization. **Note** You only need to complete this step once from the management account (payer account). **To create the CloudFormation StackSet** 1. In a text editor, open the `billing_console_policy_migrator_role.json` file, and replace each instance of *``* with the account ID of the payer account (for example, *123456789012*). 1. Save the file. 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console as the payer account. 1. In the CloudFormation console, create a stack set with the `billing_console_policy_migrator_role.json` file that you updated. For more information, see [ Creating a stack set on the AWS CloudFormation console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/stacksets-getting-started-create.html) in the *AWS CloudFormation User Guide*. After CloudFormation creates the stack set, each member account in your organization has an `BillingConsolePolicyMigratorRole` IAM role. The IAM role contains the following permissions: ``` "iam:GetAccountAuthorizationDetails", "iam:GetPolicy", "iam:GetPolicyVersion", "iam:GetUserPolicy", "iam:GetGroupPolicy", "iam:GetRolePolicy", "iam:CreatePolicyVersion", "iam:DeletePolicyVersion", "iam:ListPolicyVersions", "iam:PutUserPolicy", "iam:PutGroupPolicy", "iam:PutRolePolicy", "iam:SetDefaultPolicyVersion" ``` **Notes** For each member account, the scripts call the [AssumeRole](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/API_AssumeRole.html) API operation to get temporary credentials to assume the `BillingConsolePolicyMigratorRole` IAM role. The scripts call the [ListAccounts](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/APIReference/API_ListAccounts.html) API operation to get all member accounts. The scripts also call IAM API operations to perform the read and write permissions to the policies. ## Step 3: Identify the affected policies After you create the stack set and downloaded the files, run the `identify_affected_policies.py` script. This script assumes the `BillingConsolePolicyMigratorRole` IAM role for each member account, and then identifies the affected policies. **To identify the affected policies** 1. Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the scripts. ``` cd policy_migration_scripts/scripts ``` 1. Run the `identify_affected_policies.py` script. You can use the following input parameters: + AWS accounts that you want the script to scan. To specify accounts, use the following input parameters: + `--all` – Scans all member accounts in your organization. ``` python3 identify_affected_policies.py --all ``` + `--accounts` – Scans a subset of member accounts in your organization. ``` python3 identify_affected_policies.py --accounts 111122223333, 444455556666, 777788889999 ``` + `--exclude-accounts`– Excludes specific member accounts in your organization. ``` python3 identify_affected_policies.py --all --exclude-accounts 111111111111, 222222222222, 333333333333 ``` + ` –-action-mapping-config-file`– (Optional) Specify the path to the `action_mapping_config.json` file. The script uses this file to generate suggested updates for affected policies. If you don't specify the path, the script uses the `action_mapping_config.json` file in the folder. ``` python3 identify_affected_policies.py –-action-mapping-config-file c:\Users\username\Desktop\Scripts\action_mapping_config.json –-all ``` **Note** You can't specify organizational units (OUs) with this script. After you run the script, it creates two JSON files in a `Affected_Policies_` folder: + `affected_policies_and_suggestions.json` + `detailed_affected_policies.json` **`affected_policies_and_suggestions.json`** Lists the affected policies with the suggested new actions. Affected policies that use the same set of old actions are grouped together in the file. This file contains the following sections: + Metadata that provides an overview of the accounts that you specified in the script, including: + Accounts scanned and the input parameter used for the `identify_affected_policies.py` script + Number of affected accounts + Number of affected policies + Number of similar policy groups + Similar policy groups – Includes the list of accounts and policy details, including the following sections: + `ImpactedPolicies` – Specifies which policies are affected and included in the group + `ImpactedPolicyStatements` – Provides information about the `Sid` blocks that currently use the old actions in the affected policy. This section includes the old actions and IAM elements, such as `Effect`, `Principal`, `NotPrincipal`, `NotAction`, and `Condition`. + `SuggestedPolicyStatementsToAppend` – Provides the suggested new actions that are added as new `SID` block. When you update the policies, this block is appended at the end of the policies. **Example `affected_policies_and_suggestions.json` file** This file groups together policies that are similar based on the following criteria: + Same old actions used – Policies that have the same old actions across all `SID` blocks. + Matching details – In addition to affected actions, the policies have identical IAM elements,such as: + `Effect` (`Allow`/`Deny`) + `Principal` (who is allowed or denied access) + `NotAction` (what actions are not allowed) + `NotPrincipal` (who is explicitly denied access) + `Resource` (which AWS resources the policy applies to) + `Condition` (any specific conditions under which the policy applies) For more information, see [IAM policy examples](#examples-of-similar-policies). **Example `affected_policies_and_suggestions.json`** ``` [{ "AccountsScanned": [ "111111111111", "222222222222" ], "TotalAffectedAccounts": 2, "TotalAffectedPolicies": 2, "TotalSimilarPolicyGroups": 2 }, { "GroupName": "Group1", "ImpactedPolicies": [{ "Account": "111111111111", "PolicyType": "UserInlinePolicy", "PolicyName": "Inline-Test-Policy-Allow", "PolicyIdentifier": "1111111_1-user:Inline-Test-Policy-Allow" }, { "Account": "222222222222", "PolicyType": "UserInlinePolicy", "PolicyName": "Inline-Test-Policy-Allow", "PolicyIdentifier": "222222_1-group:Inline-Test-Policy-Allow" } ], "ImpactedPolicyStatements": [ [{ "Sid": "VisualEditor0", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "aws-portal:ViewAccounts" ], "Resource": "*" }] ], "SuggestedPolicyStatementsToAppend": [{ "Sid": "BillingConsolePolicyMigrator0", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "account:GetAccountInformation", "account:GetAlternateContact", "account:GetChallengeQuestions", "account:GetContactInformation", "billing:GetContractInformation", "billing:GetIAMAccessPreference", "billing:GetSellerOfRecord", "payments:ListPaymentPreferences" ], "Resource": "*" }] }, { "GroupName": "Group2", "ImpactedPolicies": [{ "Account": "111111111111", "PolicyType": "UserInlinePolicy", "PolicyName": "Inline-Test-Policy-deny", "PolicyIdentifier": "1111111_2-user:Inline-Test-Policy-deny" }, { "Account": "222222222222", "PolicyType": "UserInlinePolicy", "PolicyName": "Inline-Test-Policy-deny", "PolicyIdentifier": "222222_2-group:Inline-Test-Policy-deny" } ], "ImpactedPolicyStatements": [ [{ "Sid": "VisualEditor0", "Effect": "deny", "Action": [ "aws-portal:ModifyAccount" ], "Resource": "*" }] ], "SuggestedPolicyStatementsToAppend": [{ "Sid": "BillingConsolePolicyMigrator1", "Effect": "Deny", "Action": [ "account:CloseAccount", "account:DeleteAlternateContact", "account:PutAlternateContact", "account:PutChallengeQuestions", "account:PutContactInformation", "billing:PutContractInformation", "billing:UpdateIAMAccessPreference", "payments:UpdatePaymentPreferences" ], "Resource": "*" }] } ] ``` **`detailed_affected_policies.json`** Contains the definition of all affected policies that the `identify_affected_policies.py` script identified for member accounts. The file groups similar policies together. You can use this file as reference, so that you can review and manage policy changes without needing to sign in to each member account to review the updates for each policy and account individually. You can search the file for the policy name (for example, `YourCustomerManagedReadOnlyAccessBillingUser`) and then review the affected policy definitions. **Example: `detailed_affected_policies.json`** ## Step 4: Review the suggested changes After the script creates the `affected_policies_and_suggestions.json` file, review it and make any changes. **To review the affected policies** 1. In a text editor, open the `affected_policies_and_suggestions.json` file. 1. In the `AccountsScanned` section, verify that the number of similar groups identified across the scanned accounts is expected. 1. Review the suggested fine-grained actions that will be added to the affected policies. 1. Update your file as needed and then save it. ### Example 1: Update the `action_mapping_config.json` file You can update the suggested mappings in the `action_mapping_config.json`. After you update the file, you can rerun the `identify_affected_policies.py` script. This script generates updated suggestions for the affected policies. You can make multiple versions of the `action_mapping_config.json` file to change the policies for different accounts with different permissions. For example, you might create one file named `action_mapping_config_testing.json` to migrate permissions for your test accounts and `action_mapping_config_production.json` for your production accounts. ### Example 2: Update the `affected_policies_and_suggestions.json` file To make changes to the suggested replacements for a specific affected policy group, you can directly edit the suggested replacements section within the `affected_policies_and_suggestions.json` file. Any changes that you make in this section are applied to all policies within that specific affected policy group. ### Example 3: Customize a specific policy If you find that a policy within an affected policy group that needs different changes than the suggested updates, you can do the following: + Exclude specific accounts from the `identify_affected_policies.py` script. You can then review those excluded accounts separately. + Update the affected `Sid` blocks by removing the affected policies and accounts that need different permissions. Create a JSON block that includes only the specific accounts or excludes them from the current update affected policy run. When you rerun the `identify_affected_policies.py` script, only the relevant accounts appear in the updated block. You can then refine the suggested replacements for that specific `Sid` block. ## Step 5: Update the affected policies After you review and refine the suggested replacements, run the `update_affected_policies.py` script. The script takes the `affected_policies_and_suggestions.json` file as input. This script assumes the `BillingConsolePolicyMigratorRole` IAM role to update the affected policies listed in the `affected_policies_and_suggestions.json` file. **To update the affected policies** 1. If you haven't already, open a command line window for the AWS CLI. 1. Enter the following command to run the `update_affected_policies.py` script. You can enter the following input parameter: + The directory path of the `affected_policies_and_suggestions.json` file that contains a list of the affected policies to be updated. This file is an output of the previous step. ``` python3 update_affected_policies.py --affected-policies-directory Affected_Policies_ ``` The `update_affected_policies.py` script updates the affected policies within the `affected_policies_and_suggestions.json` file with the suggested new actions. The script adds a `Sid` block to the policies, identified as `BillingConsolePolicyMigrator#`, where *\$1* corresponds to an incremental counter (for example, 1, 2, 3). For example, if there are multiple `Sid` blocks in the affected policy that use old actions, the script adds multiple `Sid` blocks that appear as `BillingConsolePolicyMigrator#` to correspond to each `Sid` block. **Important** The script doesn't remove old IAM actions from the policies, and or change existing `Sid` blocks in the policies. Instead, it creates `Sid` blocks and appends them to the end of the policy. These new `Sid` blocks have the suggested new actions from the JSON file. This ensures that the permissions of the original policies aren't changed. We recommend that you do not change the name of the `BillingConsolePolicyMigrator#` `Sid` blocks in case you need to revert your changes. **Example: Policy with appended `Sid` blocks** See the appended `Sid` blocks in the `BillingConsolePolicyMigrator1` and `BillingConsolePolicyMigrator2` blocks. The script generates a status report that contains unsuccessful operations and outputs the JSON file locally. **Example: Status report** ``` [{ "Account": "111111111111", "PolicyType": "Customer Managed Policy" "PolicyName": "AwsPortalViewPaymentMethods", "PolicyIdentifier": "identifier", "Status": "FAILURE", // FAILURE or SKIPPED "ErrorMessage": "Error message details" }] ``` **Important** If you re-run the `identify_affected_policies.py` and `update_affected_policies.py` scripts , they skip all policies that contain the `BillingConsolePolicyMigratorRole#``Sid` block. The scripts assume that those policies were previously scanned and updated, and that they don't require additional updates. This prevents the script from duplicating the same actions in the policy. After you update the affected policies, you can use the new IAM by using the affected policies tool. If you identify any issues, you can use the tool to switch back to the previous actions. You can also use a script to revert your policy updates. For more information, see [How to use the affected policies tool](migrate-security-iam-tool.md) and the [Changes to AWS Billing, Cost Management, and Account Consoles Permissions](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws-cloud-financial-management/changes-to-aws-billing-cost-management-and-account-consoles-permissions/) blog post. To manage your updates, you can: Run the scripts for each account individually. Run the script in batches for similar accounts, such as testing, QA, and production accounts. Run the script for all accounts. Choose a mix between updating some accounts in batches, and then updating others individually. ## Step 6: Revert your changes (Optional) The `rollback_affected_policies.py` script reverts the changes applied to each affected policy for the specified accounts. The script removes all `Sid` blocks that the `update_affected_policies.py` script appended. These `Sid` blocks have the `BillingConsolePolicyMigratorRole#` format. **To revert your changes** 1. If you haven't already, open a command line window for the AWS CLI. 1. Enter the following command to run the `rollback_affected_policies.py` script.

You can also use the [old to granular action mapping reference](#migrate-granularaccess-iam-mapping-reference) to verify the IAM actions that need to be added. If you have an AWS account, or are a part of an AWS Organizations created on or after March 6, 2023, 11:00 AM (PDT), the fine-grained actions are already in effect in your organization. You will need to migrate the following IAM actions in your permission policies or service control policies (SCP): + `aws-portal:ViewAccount` + `aws-portal:ViewBilling` + `aws-portal:ViewPaymentMethods` + `aws-portal:ViewUsage` + `aws-portal:ModifyAccount` + `aws-portal:ModifyBilling` + `aws-portal:ModifyPaymentMethods` + `purchase-orders:ViewPurchaseOrders` + `purchase-orders:ModifyPurchaseOrders` You can use this topic to view the mapping of the old to new fine-grained actions for each IAM action that we're retiring. **Overview** 1. Review your affected IAM policies in your AWS account. To do so, follow the steps in the **Affected policies** tool to identify your affected IAM policies. See [How to use the affected policies tool](migrate-security-iam-tool.md). 1. Use the IAM console to add the new granular permissions to your policy. For example, if your policy allows the `purchase-orders:ModifyPurchaseOrders` permission, you will need to add each action in the [Mapping for purchase-orders:ModifyPurchaseOrders](#mapping-for-purchase-ordersmodifypurchaseorders) table. **Old policy** The following policy allows a user to add, delete, or modify any purchase order in the account. ------ #### [ JSON ] **** ``` { "Version":"2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "VisualEditor0", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "purchase-orders:ModifyPurchaseOrders", "Resource": "arn:aws:purchase-orders::123456789012:purchase-order/*" } ] } ``` ------ **New policy** The following policy also allows a user to add, delete, or modify any purchase order in the account. Note that each granular permission appears after the old `purchase-orders:ModifyPurchaseOrders` permission. These permissions give you more control over what actions you want to allow or deny. **Tip** We recommend that you keep the old permissions to ensure that you don't lose permissions until this migration is complete. ------ #### [ JSON ] **** ``` { "Version":"2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "VisualEditor0", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "purchase-orders:ModifyPurchaseOrders", "purchase-orders:AddPurchaseOrder", "purchase-orders:DeletePurchaseOrder", "purchase-orders:UpdatePurchaseOrder", "purchase-orders:UpdatePurchaseOrderStatus" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:purchase-orders::123456789012:purchase-order/*" } ] } ``` ------ 1. Save your changes. **Notes** To edit policies manually in the IAM console, see [Editing customer managed policies (console)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_manage-edit.html#edit-inline-policy-console) in the *IAM User Guide*.

AWS account. You can use AWS managed policies to control access in Billing. An AWS managed policy is a standalone policy that's created and administered by AWS. AWS managed policies are designed to provide permissions for many common use cases. AWS managed policies make it easier for you to assign appropriate permissions to users, groups, and roles than if you had to write the policies yourself. You can't change the permissions defined in AWS managed policies. AWS occasionally updates the permissions that are defined in an AWS managed policy. When this occurs, the update affects all principal entities (users, groups, and roles) that the policy is attached to. Billing provides several AWS managed policies for common use cases. **Topics** + [ ## [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSPurchaseOrdersServiceRolePolicy.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSPurchaseOrdersServiceRolePolicy.html) ](#security-iam-awsmanpol-AWSPurchaseOrdersServiceRolePolicy) + [ ## [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSBillingReadOnlyAccess.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSBillingReadOnlyAccess.html) ](#security-iam-awsmanpol-AWSBillingReadOnlyAccess) + [ ## [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/Billing.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/Billing.html) ](#security-iam-awsmanpol-Billing) + [ ## [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSAccountActivityAccess.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSAccountActivityAccess.html) ](#security-iam-awsmanpol-AWSAccountActivityAccess) + [ ## [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSPriceListServiceFullAccess.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSPriceListServiceFullAccess.html) ](#security-iam-awsmanpol-AWSPriceListServiceFullAccess) + [ ## Updates to AWS managed policies for AWS Billing ](#security-iam-awsmanpol-updates) ## [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSPurchaseOrdersServiceRolePolicy.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSPurchaseOrdersServiceRolePolicy.html) This managed policy grants full access to the Billing and Cost Management console and to the purchase orders console.

Your administrator is the person who provided you with your sign-in credentials. The following example error occurs when the `mateojackson` user tries to use the console to view details about a fictional `my-example-widget` resource but does not have the fictional `billing:GetWidget` permissions. ``` User: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/mateojackson is not authorized to perform: billing:GetWidget on resource: my-example-widget ``` In this case, Mateo asks his administrator to update his policies to allow him to access the `my-example-widget` resource using the `billing:GetWidget` action. ## I am not authorized to perform iam:PassRole If you receive an error that you're not authorized to perform the `iam:PassRole` action, your policies must be updated to allow you to pass a role to Billing. Some AWS services allow you to pass an existing role to that service instead of creating a new service role or service-linked role. To do this, you must have permissions to pass the role to the service. The following example error occurs when an IAM user named `marymajor` tries to use the console to perform an action in Billing. However, the action requires the service to have permissions that are granted by a service role. Mary does not have permissions to pass the role to the service. ``` User: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/marymajor is not authorized to perform: iam:PassRole ``` In this case, Mary's policies must be updated to allow her to perform the `iam:PassRole` action. If you need help, contact your AWS administrator. Your administrator is the person who provided you with your sign-in credentials. ## I want to view my access keys After you create your IAM user access keys, you can view your access key ID at any time. However, you can't view your secret access key again. If you lose your secret key, you must create a new access key pair. Access keys consist of two parts: an access key ID (for example, `AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE`) and a secret access key (for example, `wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY`). Like a user name and password, you must use both the access key ID and secret access key together to authenticate your requests. Manage your access keys as securely as you do your user name and password. **Important** Do not provide your access keys to a third party, even to help [find your canonical user ID](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/manage-acct-identifiers.html#FindCanonicalId). By doing this, you might give someone permanent access to your AWS account. When you create an access key pair, you are prompted to save the access key ID and secret access key in a secure location. The secret access key is available only at the time you create it. If you lose your secret access key, you must add new access keys to your IAM user. You can have a maximum of two access keys. If you already have two, you must delete one key pair before creating a new one. To view instructions, see [Managing access keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html#Using_CreateAccessKey) in the *IAM User Guide*. ## I'm an administrator and want to allow others to access Billing To allow others to access Billing, you must grant permission to the people or applications that need access. If you are using AWS IAM Identity Center to manage people and applications, you assign permission sets to users or groups to define their level of access. Permission sets automatically create and assign IAM policies to IAM roles that are associated with the person or application. For more information, see [Permission sets](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/singlesignon/latest/userguide/permissionsetsconcept.html) in the *AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide*. If you are not using IAM Identity Center, you must create IAM entities (users or roles) for the people or applications that need access. You must then attach a policy to the entity that grants them the correct permissions in Billing. After the permissions are granted, provide the credentials to the user or application developer. They will use those credentials to access AWS. To learn more about creating IAM users, groups, policies, and permissions, see [IAM Identities](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id.html) and [Policies and permissions in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. ## I want to allow people outside of my AWS account to access my Billing resources You can create a role that users in other accounts or people outside of your organization can use to access your resources. You can specify who is trusted to assume the role. For services that support resource-based policies or access control lists (ACLs), you can use those policies to grant people access to your resources. To learn more, consult the following: + To learn whether Billing supports these features, see [How AWS Billing works with IAM](security_iam_service-with-iam.md). + To learn how to provide access to your resources across AWS accounts that you own, see [Providing access to an IAM user in another AWS account that you own](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_common-scenarios_aws-accounts.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. + To learn how to provide access to your resources to third-party AWS accounts, see [Providing access to AWS accounts owned by third parties](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_common-scenarios_third-party.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. + To learn how to provide access through identity federation, see [Providing access to externally authenticated users (identity federation)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_common-scenarios_federated-users.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. + To learn the difference between using roles and resource-based policies for cross-account access, see [Cross account resource access in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies-cross-account-resource-access.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. # Using service-linked roles for AWS Billing Using service-linked roles AWS Billing uses AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) [service-linked roles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_terms-and-concepts.html#iam-term-service-linked-role). A service-linked role is a unique type of IAM role that is linked directly to AWS Billing. Service-linked roles are predefined by AWS Billing and include all the permissions that the service requires to call other AWS services on your behalf. A service-linked role makes setting up AWS Billing easier because you don’t have to manually add the necessary permissions. AWS Billing defines the permissions of its service-linked roles, and unless defined otherwise, only AWS Billing can assume its roles. The defined permissions include the trust policy and the permissions policy, and that permissions policy cannot be attached to any other IAM entity. You can delete a service-linked role only after first deleting their related resources. This protects your AWS Billing resources because you can't inadvertently remove permission to access the resources. For information about other services that support service-linked roles, see [AWS services that work with IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-services-that-work-with-iam.html) and look for the services that have **Yes** in the **Service-linked roles** column. Choose a **Yes** with a link to view the service-linked role documentation for that service. ## Service-linked role permissions for AWS Billing AWS Billing uses the service-linked role named **Billing** – Allows billing service to validate access to billing view data for derived billing views. The Billing service-linked role trusts the following services to assume the role: + `billing.amazonaws.com` The role permissions policy named AWSBillingServiceRolePolicy allows AWS Billing to complete the following actions on the specified resources: + Action: `billing:GetBillingViewData` on `arn:${Partition}:billing:::billingview/*` You must configure permissions to allow your users, groups, or roles to create, edit, or delete a service-linked role. For more information, see [Service-linked role permissions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/using-service-linked-roles.html#service-linked-role-permissions) in the *IAM User Guide*. ## Creating a service-linked role for AWS Billing You don't need to manually create a service-linked role. When you create or associate a billing view using a billing view from a different account in the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the AWS API, AWS Billing creates the service-linked role for you. **Important** This service-linked role can appear in your account if you completed an action in another service that uses the features supported by this role. Also, if you were using the AWS Billing service before January 1, 2017, when it began supporting service-linked roles, then AWS Billing created the Billing role in your account. To learn more, see [A new role appeared in my AWS account](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/troubleshoot_roles.html#troubleshoot_roles_new-role-appeared). ## Editing a service-linked role for AWS Billing AWS Billing does not allow you to edit the Billing service-linked role. After you create a service-linked role, you cannot change the name of the role because various entities might reference the role. However, you can edit the description of the role using IAM. For more information, see [Editing a service-linked role](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/using-service-linked-roles.html#edit-service-linked-role) in the *IAM User Guide*. ## Deleting a service-linked role for AWS Billing If you no longer need to use a feature or service that requires a service-linked role, we recommend that you delete that role. That way you don’t have an unused entity that is not actively monitored or maintained. However, you must clean up your service-linked role before you can manually delete it. ### Manually delete the service-linked role Use the IAM console, the AWS CLI, or the AWS API to delete the Billing service-linked role. For more information, see [Deleting a service-linked role](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/using-service-linked-roles.html#delete-service-linked-role) in the *IAM User Guide*. ## Supported Regions for AWS Billing service-linked roles AWS Billing supports using service-linked roles in all of the Regions where the service is available. For more information, see [AWS Regions and endpoints](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html). # Logging and monitoring in AWS Billing and Cost Management Logging and monitoring Monitoring is an important part of maintaining the reliability, availability, and performance of your AWS account. There are several tools available to monitor your Billing and Cost Management usage. ## AWS Cost and Usage Reports AWS Cost and Usage Reports tracks your AWS usage and provides estimated charges associated with your account. Each report contains line items for each unique combination of AWS products, usage type, and operation that you use in your AWS account. You can customize the AWS Cost and Usage Reports to aggregate the information either by the hour or by the day. For more information about AWS Cost and Usage Reports, see the [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cur/latest/userguide/what-is-cur.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cur/latest/userguide/what-is-cur.html). ## AWS CloudTrail Billing and Cost Management is integrated with AWS CloudTrail, a service that provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service in Billing and Cost Management. CloudTrail captures all write and modify API calls for Billing and Cost Management as events, including calls from the Billing and Cost Management console and from code calls to the Billing and Cost Management APIs. For more information about AWS CloudTrail, see the [Logging Billing and Cost Management API calls with AWS CloudTrail](logging-using-cloudtrail.md). # Logging Billing and Cost Management API calls with AWS CloudTrail Logging API calls with CloudTrail Billing and Cost Management is integrated with AWS CloudTrail, a service that provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service in Billing and Cost Management. CloudTrail captures API calls for Billing and Cost Management as events, including calls from the Billing and Cost Management console and from code calls to the Billing and Cost Management APIs. For a full list of CloudTrail events related to Billing, see [AWS Billing CloudTrail events](#billing-cloudtrail-events). If you create a trail, you can enable continuous delivery of CloudTrail events to an Amazon S3 bucket, including events for Billing and Cost Management. If you don't configure a trail, you can still view the most recent events in the CloudTrail console in **Event history**. Using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine the request that was made to Billing and Cost Management, the IP address from which the request was made, who made the request, when it was made, and additional details. To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to configure and enable it, see the [AWS CloudTrail User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/). ## AWS Billing CloudTrail events This section shows a full list of the CloudTrail events related to Billing and Cost Management. **** | Event name | Definition | Event source | | --- | --- | --- | | `AddPurchaseOrder` | Logs the creation of a purchase order. | purchase-orders.amazonaws.com | | `AcceptFxPaymentCurrencyTermsAndConditions` | Logs the acceptance of the terms and conditions of paying in a currency other than USD. | billingconsole.amazonaws.com | | `CloseAccount` | Logs the closing of an account. | billingconsole.amazonaws.com | | `CreateCustomerVerificationDetails` | (For customers with an India billing or contact address only) Logs the creation of the customer verification details of the account. | customer-verification.amazonaws.com | | `CreateOrigamiReportPreference` | Logs the creation of the cost and usage report;

When supported event activity occurs in Billing and Cost Management, that activity is recorded in a CloudTrail event along with other AWS service events in **Event history**. You can view, search, and download recent events in your AWS account. For more information, see [Viewing Events with CloudTrail Event History](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/view-cloudtrail-events.html) in the *AWS CloudTrail User Guide*. For an ongoing record of events in your AWS account, including events for Billing and Cost Management, create a trail. A trail enables CloudTrail to deliver log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By default, when you create a trail in the console, the trail applies to all AWS Regions. The trail logs events from all Regions in the AWS partition and delivers the log files to the Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. Additionally, you can configure other AWS services to further analyze and act upon the event data collected in CloudTrail logs. For more information, see the following: + [Overview for Creating a Trail](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-create-and-update-a-trail.html) + [CloudTrail Supported Services and Integrations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-aws-service-specific-topics.html#cloudtrail-aws-service-specific-topics-integrations) + [Configuring Amazon SNS Notifications for CloudTrail](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/getting_notifications_top_level.html) + [Receiving CloudTrail Log Files from Multiple Regions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/receive-cloudtrail-log-files-from-multiple-regions.html) and [Receiving CloudTrail Log Files from Multiple Accounts](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-receive-logs-from-multiple-accounts.html) Every event or log entry contains information about who generated the request. The identity information helps you determine the following: + Whether the request was made with root or IAM user credentials. + Whether the request was made with temporary security credentials for a role or federated user. + Whether the request was made by another AWS service. For more information, see the [CloudTrail userIdentity Element](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-event-reference-user-identity.html) in the *AWS CloudTrail User Guide*. ## CloudTrail log entry examples The following examples are provided for specific Billing and Cost Management CloudTrail log entry scenarios. **Topics** + [ ### Billing and Cost Management log file entries ](#understanding-service-name-entries) + [ ### Tax console ](#CT-example-tax) + [ ### Payments ](#CT-example-payments-create) ### Billing and Cost Management log file entries A *trail* is a configuration that enables delivery of events as log files to an Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. CloudTrail log files contain one or more log entries. An event represents a single request from any source and includes information about the requested action, the date and time of the action, request parameters, and so on. CloudTrail log files are not an ordered stack trace of the public API calls, so they don't appear in any specific order. The following example shows a CloudTrail log entry that demonstrates the `SetContactAddress` action. ``` { "eventVersion": "1.05", "userIdentity": { "accountId": "111122223333", "accessKeyId": "AIDACKCEVSQ6C2EXAMPLE" }, "eventTime": "2018-05-30T16:44:04Z", "eventSource": "billingconsole.amazonaws.com", "eventName": "SetContactAddress", "awsRegion": "us-east-1", "sourceIPAddress": "100.100.10.10", "requestParameters": { "website": "https://amazon.com", "city": "Seattle", "postalCode": "98108", "fullName": "Jane Doe", "districtOrCounty": null, "phoneNumber": "206-555-0100", "countryCode": "US", "addressLine1": "Nowhere Estates", "addressLine2": "100 Main Street", "company": "AnyCompany", "state": "Washington", "addressLine3": "Anytown, USA", "secondaryPhone": "206-555-0101" }, "responseElements": null, "eventID": "5923c499-063e-44ac-80fb-b40example9f", "readOnly": false, "eventType": "AwsConsoleAction", "recipientAccountId": "1111-2222-3333" } ``` ### Tax console The following example shows a CloudTrail log entry that uses the `CreateCustomerCase` action. ``` { "eventVersion":"1.05", "userIdentity":{ "accountId":"111122223333", "accessKeyId":"AIDACKCEVSQ6C2EXAMPLE" }, "eventTime":"2018-05-30T16:44:04Z", "eventSource":"taxconsole.amazonaws.com", "eventName":"CreateCustomerCase", "awsRegion":"us-east-1", "sourceIPAddress":"100.100.10.10", "requestParameters":{ "state":"NJ", "exemptionType":"501C", "exemptionCertificateList":[ { "documentName":"ExemptionCertificate.png" } ] }, "responseElements":{ "caseId":"case-111122223333-iris-2022-3cd52e8dbf262242" }, "eventID":"5923c499-063e-44ac-80fb-b40example9f", "readOnly":false, "eventType":"AwsConsoleAction", "recipientAccountId":"1111-2222-3333" } ``` ### Payments The following example shows a CloudTrail log entry that uses the `Instruments_Create` action. ``` { "eventVersion": "1.08", "userIdentity": { "type": "Root", "principalId": "111122223333", "arn": "arn:aws:iam::111122223333:", "accountId": "111122223333", "accessKeyId": "AIDACKCEVSQ6C2EXAMPLE", "sessionContext": { "sessionIssuer": {}, "webIdFederationData": {}, "attributes": { "creationDate": "2024-05-01T00:00:00Z", "mfaAuthenticated": "false" } } }, "eventTime": "2024-05-01T00:00:00Z", "eventSource": "payments.amazonaws.com", "eventName": "Instruments_Create", "awsRegion": "us-east-1", "sourceIPAddress": "100.100.10.10", "userAgent": "AWS", "requestParameters": { "accountId": "111122223333", "paymentMethod": "CreditCard", "address": "HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS", "accountHolderName": "HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS", "cardNumber": "HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS", "cvv2": "HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS", "expirationMonth": "HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS", "expirationYear": "HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS", "tags": { "Department": "Finance" } }, "responseElements": { "paymentInstrumentArn": "arn:aws:payments::111122223333:payment-instrument:4251d66c-1b05-46ea-890c-6b4acf6b24ab", "paymentInstrumentId": "111122223333", "paymentMethod": "CreditCard", "consent": "NotProvided", "creationDate": "2024-05-01T00:00:00Z", "address": "HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS", "accountHolderName": "HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS", "expirationMonth": "HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS", "expirationYear": "HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS", "issuer": "Visa", "tail": "HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS" }, "requestID": "7c7df9c2-c381-4880-a879-2b9037ce0573", "eventID": "c251942f-6559-43d2-9dcd-2053d2a77de3", "readOnly": true, "eventType": "AwsApiCall", "managementEvent": true, "recipientAccountId": "111122223333", "eventCategory": "Management", "sessionCredentialFromConsole": "true" } ``` # Compliance validation for AWS Billing and Cost Management Compliance validation Third-party auditors assess the security and compliance of AWS services as part of multiple AWS compliance programs. Billing and Cost Management is not in scope of any AWS compliance programs. For a list of AWS services in scope of specific compliance programs, see [AWS Services in Scope by Compliance Program](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/services-in-scope/). For general information, see [AWS Compliance Programs](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/programs/). You can download third-party audit reports using AWS Artifact. For more information, see [Downloading Reports in AWS Artifact](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/artifact/latest/ug/downloading-documents.html). Your compliance responsibility when using Billing and Cost Management is determined by the sensitivity of your data, your company's compliance objectives, and applicable laws and regulations. AWS provides the following resources to help with compliance: + [Security and Compliance Quick Start Guides](https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/?awsf.quickstart-homepage-filter=categories%23security-identity-compliance) – These deployment guides discuss architectural considerations and provide steps for deploying security- and compliance-focused baseline environments on AWS. + [AWS Compliance Resources](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/resources/) – This collection of workbooks and guides might apply to your industry and location. + [Evaluating Resources with Rules](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/evaluate-config.html) in the *AWS Config Developer Guide* – The AWS Config service assesses how well your resource configurations comply with internal practices, industry guidelines, and regulations. + [AWS Security Hub CSPM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/securityhub/latest/userguide/what-is-securityhub.html) – This AWS service provides a comprehensive view of your security state within AWS that helps you check your compliance with security industry standards and best practices. # Resilience in AWS Billing and Cost Management Resilience The AWS global infrastructure is built around AWS Regions and Availability Zones. AWS Regions provide multiple physically separated and isolated Availability Zones, which are connected with low-latency, high-throughput, and highly redundant networking. With Availability Zones, you can design and operate applications and databases that automatically fail over between zones without interruption. Availability Zones are more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than traditional single or multiple data center infrastructures. For more information about AWS Regions and Availability Zones, see [AWS Global Infrastructure](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/). # Infrastructure security in AWS Billing and Cost Management Infrastructure security As a managed service, AWS Billing and Cost Management is protected by AWS global network security. For information about AWS security services and how AWS protects infrastructure, see [AWS Cloud Security](https://aws.amazon.com/security/). To design your AWS environment using the best practices for infrastructure security, see [Infrastructure Protection](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/security-pillar/infrastructure-protection.html) in *Security Pillar AWS Well‐Architected Framework*. You use AWS published API calls to access Billing and Cost Management through the network. Clients must support the following: + Transport Layer Security (TLS). We require TLS 1.2 and recommend TLS 1.3. + Cipher suites with perfect forward secrecy (PFS) such as DHE (Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman) or ECDHE (Elliptic Curve Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman). Most modern systems such as Java 7 and later support these modes. # Access AWS Billing and Cost Management using an interface endpoint (AWS PrivateLink) AWS PrivateLink You can use AWS PrivateLink to create a private connection between your VPC and AWS Billing and Cost Management. You can access Billing and Cost Management as if it were in your VPC, without the use of an internet gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or Direct Connect connection. Instances in your VPC don't need public IP addresses to access Billing and Cost Management. You establish this private connection by creating an *interface endpoint*, powered by AWS PrivateLink. We create an endpoint network interface in each subnet that you enable for the interface endpoint. These are requester-managed network interfaces that serve as the entry point for traffic destined for Billing and Cost Management. For more information, see [Access AWS services through AWS PrivateLink](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/privatelink-access-aws-services.html) in the *AWS PrivateLink Guide*. For a complete list of service names, see [AWS services that integrate with AWS PrivateLink](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/aws-services-privatelink-support.html). ## Considerations for Billing and Cost Management Considerations Before you set up an interface endpoint for Billing and Cost Management, review [Considerations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/create-interface-endpoint.html#considerations-interface-endpoints) in the *AWS PrivateLink Guide*. Billing and Cost Management supports making calls to all of its API actions through the interface endpoint. VPC endpoint policies are not supported for Billing and Cost Management. By default, full access to Billing and Cost Management is allowed through the interface endpoint. Alternatively, you can associate a security group with the endpoint network interfaces to control traffic to Billing and Cost Management through the interface endpoint. ## Create an interface endpoint for Billing and Cost Management Create an interface endpoint You can create an interface endpoint for Billing and Cost Management using either the Amazon VPC console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). For more information, see [Create an interface endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/create-interface-endpoint.html#create-interface-endpoint-aws) in the *AWS PrivateLink Guide*. Create an interface endpoint for Billing and Cost Management using the following service name: ``` com.amazonaws.region.service-name ``` If you enable private DNS for the interface endpoint, you can make API requests to Billing and Cost Management using its default Regional DNS name. For example, `service-name.us-east-1.amazonaws.com`. ## Create an endpoint policy for your interface endpoint Create an endpoint policy An endpoint policy is an IAM resource that you can attach to an interface endpoint. The default endpoint policy allows full access to Billing and Cost Management through the interface endpoint. To control the access allowed to Billing and Cost Management from your VPC, attach a custom endpoint policy to the interface endpoint. An endpoint policy specifies the following information: + The principals that can perform actions (AWS accounts, IAM users, and IAM roles). + The actions that can be performed. + The resources on which the actions can be performed. For more information, see [Control access to services using endpoint policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/vpc-endpoints-access.html) in the *AWS PrivateLink Guide*. **Example: VPC endpoint policy for AWS Price List API** The following is an example of a custom endpoint policy. When you attach this policy to your interface endpoint, all users that have access to the endpoint are can access AWS Price List API. ``` { "Statement": [ { "Action": "pricing:*", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": "*", "Resource": "*" } ] } ``` To use the bulk file download for Price List API through AWS PrivateLink, you must also enable Amazon S3 access through AWS PrivateLink. For more information, see [AWS PrivateLink for Amazon S3](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/privatelink-interface-endpoints.html) in the *Amazon S3 User Guide*.
