    • Assign ownership of one or more service accounts and, optionally, the related CIs to users that have the insights_owner role. An insights_owner can define jobs and policies and can view data for owned service accounts.

    Avant de commencer

    Before you assign service accounts, you might want to view the list of current insights_owner and their owned accounts. For more information, see View the service accounts owned by an insights_owner.

    Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

    The insights_owner role spreads responsibility for Cloud Cost Management activities to persons who have good knowledge of operations in the service accounts. For more information about the insights_owner role, see Cloud Cost Management roles.

    A service account is a secure record on your instance that holds the credential and access information for your provider account. Discovery uses the information to access your provider account to get data on each resource in each specified datacenter.
