AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 184

The CFO of a company wants to allow one of his employees to view only the AWS usage report page.
Which of the below mentioned IAM policy statements allows the user to have access to the AWS usage report page?

Answer options

• A. "Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["Describe"], "Resource": "Billing"
• B. "Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["aws-portal: ViewBilling"], "Resource": "*"
• C. "Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["aws-portal: ViewUsage"], "Resource": "*"
• D. "Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["AccountUsage], "Resource": "*"

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it specifically allows the action 'aws-portal: ViewUsage', which is necessary for viewing the AWS usage report page. Option A does not provide the correct action for accessing usage reports, while option B is relevant for billing access, and option D has a syntax error and does not correspond to the required permissions.
