title: Azure cost management access mystery
body: <p>I am struggling to get the right access to Cost Management in Azure. I was provided billing reader access. But all we see is no access messages. What exactly is the purpose of billing reader? </p>
  
  <p>In the Cost Management + Billing - Overview, I see subscriptions listed. but cost ('current cost') is given as 'Unauthorized'. So a billing reader can see bills but no cost? Is that another naming gone wrong for Microsoft? </p>
