 # Get started with Azure Cost Management for partners
 
-Azure Cost Management is natively available for partners who have onboarded their customers to a Microsoft Customer Agreement and have [purchased an Azure Plan](/partner-center/purchase-azure-plan). This article explains how partners use [Azure Cost Management](../index.yml) features to view costs for subscriptions in the Azure Plan. It also describes how partners enable Cost Management access for their customers. Customers can use Cost Management features when enabled by their CSP partner.

Resellers and customers can access Cost Management in the customer tenant and view costs for the subscriptions, where costs are computed and shown at retail rates. However, they must have RBAC access to the subscription in the customer tenant to view costs. The cost visibility policy must be enabled by the provider for the customer tenant.

You can optionally include up to five thresholds and five email addresses in a single budget. When a budget threshold is met, email notifications are normally received in less than 20 hours. For more information about notifications, see [Use cost alerts](../../cost-management/cost-mgt-alerts-monitor-usage-spending.md).
