Partners can enable access to Cost Management after customers are onboarded to a Microsoft Customer Agreement. Then partners can then enable a policy allowing customers to view their costs for Azure consumed services computed at pay-as-you-go retail rates. Costs are shown in the customer's billing currency for their consumed usage at Azure RBAC subscription and resource groups scopes.

When the partner enables the policy for cost visibility, any user with Azure Resource Manager access to the subscription can manage and analyze costs at pay-as-you-go rates. Effectively, resellers and customers that have the appropriate Azure RBAC access to the Azure subscriptions can view cost.

When the cost visibility policy is enabled, all services that have subscription usage show costs at pay-as-you-go rates. Reservation usage appears with zero charges for actual and amortized costs. Purchases and entitlements aren't associated to a specific subscription. So, purchases aren't displayed at the subscription scope. The admin agent of a direct partner or an indirect provider can also use the [Update Customer API](/rest/api/billing/2019-10-01-preview/policies/updatecustomer) to set each customer's cost visibility policy at scale.
