Both B & C are required. To allow IAM users to view usage reports, you must allow both ViewUsage and ViewBilling. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/billing-permissions-ref.html

Selected Answer: C
The correct answer is: C. "Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["aws-portal:ViewUsage"], "Resource": "*" To allow a user to have access to the AWS usage report page, you need to grant them the appropriate permissions. The "aws-portal:ViewUsage" action specifically allows the user to view the AWS usage report page. The wildcard (*) in the "Resource" field allows the user to view the usage report for any resource.
