# Exclude a resource from all Cloud Cost Management reports

# Exclude a resource from all Cloud Cost Management reports {#ariaid-title1}

To ensure that cost data for a particular resource doesn't appear in a report, you exclude the resource by adding it to the Excluded Resources list.

## Before you begin

A cloud account (parent account) that has at least one service account and related datacenters is required.

Role required: insights_admin \[sn_clin_core.insights_admin\] or insights_owner \[sn_clin_core.insights_owner\] for owned service accounts.

## About this task

* Excluding a resource from a report means that the resource doesn't get displayed in the report. This setting doesn't affect analysis of data for the resource.
* At any time, you can remove a resource from the Excluded Resources list.
* An insights_owner can exclude resources and remove a resource from the Excluded Resources list only in owned service accounts.
* Production resources are examples of resources that you might exclude. Because production resources must always be active, you might, for example, want to exclude production resources from Business Hours reports.
* You can exclude a resource either from a single report type or from all reports. You can select a resource and select Exclude for excluding the resource from the current report. The resource you exclude gets added to the Excluded Resources list for the report.
