-# View Azure reservations in the Azure portal
+# View Azure reservations
 
-Depending on your subscription type and permissions, there are a couple of ways to view reservations for Azure.
+You can view and manage the purchased reservation from Azure portal.   
 
-## View purchased reservations
+## Permissions to view a reservation
 
-By default, when you buy a reservation, you and the account administrator can view the reservation. You and the account administrator automatically get the Owner role on the reservation order and reservation. To allow other people to view the reservation, you must add them as an **Owner** or **Reader** on the Reservation order or reservation.
+To view or manage a reservation, you need to have reader or owner permission on it. By default, when you buy a reservation, you and the account administrator automatically get the Owner role on the reservation order and reservation. To allow other people to view the reservation, you must add them as an **Owner** or **Reader** on the Reservation order or reservation. Adding someone to the subscription that's provided for billing the reservation, does not add them to reservation automatically. 
 
 For more information, see [Add or change users who can manage a reservation](manage-reserved-vm-instance.md#add-or-change-users-who-can-manage-a-reservation).
