How do I create an IAM user with privileges to view the account's billing information?
I added both Administrator and Billing policies to the admin group that I created, and added a user admin1 to this group. When I login as admin1, I get an error message saying I don't have privileges to see billing information of the account. What am I missing?
Use Case : In my startup, I want to have all my developers have access to "Root Account's Billing information" so they know the costs incurred. Also, you wouldn't want to login-as as root user to just view the billing information, correct.

In addition to granting billing privileges to IAM users, you have to login as root and activate IAM user access to the Billing Console.
