Cost Management Contributor is the recommended least-privilege role. It allows people access to create and manage budgets and exports to more effectively monitor and report on costs. Cost Management Contributors might also require additional roles to support end-to-end cost management scenarios. Consider the following scenarios:

- **Reporting on resource usage** – Azure Cost Management shows cost in the Azure portal and also includes usage as it pertains to cost in the full usage and charges API and download, but you may also want to drill into detailed usage metrics in Azure Monitor to get a deeper understanding. Consider granting [Monitoring Reader](../../role-based-access-control/built-in-roles.md#monitoring-reader) on any scope where you need also report on detailed usage metrics.
6566
- **Act when budgets are exceeded** – Cost Management Contributors also need access to create and/or manage action groups to automatically react to overages. Consider granting [Monitoring Contributor](../../role-based-access-control/built-in-roles.md#monitoring-contributor) to a resource group that contains the action group to use when budget thresholds are exceeded. Automating specific actions requires additional roles for the specific services used, such as Automation and Azure Functions.
6667
- **Schedule cost data export** – Cost Management Contributors also need access to manage storage accounts to schedule an export to copy data into a storage account. Consider granting [Storage Account Contributor](../../role-based-access-control/built-in-roles.md#storage-account-contributor) to a resource group that contains the storage account where cost data is exported.
6768
- **Viewing cost-saving recommendations** – Cost Management Readers and Cost Management Contributors have access to *view* cost recommendations by default. However, access to act on the cost recommendations requires access to individual resources. Consider granting a [service-specific role](../../role-based-access-control/built-in-roles.md#all) if you want to act on a cost-based recommendation.
