what
why
The previous documentation was too brief and didn't explain that IAM users and SSO permission sets cannot change this billing setting. Users were confused about why they couldn't enable billing access from their IAM user account.
references
Based on user feedback about insufficient documentation for enabling IAM user billing access.
