Tag inheritance can be enabled either with billing properties OR Azure Policies. The first method (billing properties) is the easiest & fastest if it doesn’t affect billing reporting for other resources in the same subscription.

DevTest Labs users don’t automatically have permission to view costs for their resources via Cost Management. There's one more step to [enable users to view billing information](../cost-management-billing/costs/assign-access-acm-data.md#assign-billing-account-scope-access). Assign the _Billing Reader_ permission to users at the subscription level, if they don’t already have permissions that include Billing Reader access. More information is found here on managing access to billing information: [Manage access to Azure billing - Microsoft Cost Management.](../cost-management-billing/manage/manage-billing-access.md)

Now that DevTest Labs is configured to provide the lab-specific information for Cost Management, start here on Cost Management Reporting to view costs: Get started with [Cost Management reporting - Azure - Microsoft Cost Management](../cost-management-billing/costs/reporting-get-started.md). You can visualize the costs in the Azure portal, download cost reporting information, or use Power BI to visualize the costs.
