Team roles, viewer access, and the audit log

CostRadar supports account owners and viewers. Roles help teams share cost visibility while keeping sensitive account operations limited to owners.

Account owners

Owners manage account settings, billing, connected Azure subscriptions, team invitations, notification settings, and account deletion. Owners can also review dashboards, reports, anomalies, and audit log entries.

Viewers

Viewers are intended for teammates who need visibility into costs and anomalies without administrative control. Viewer access can include dashboard and report visibility, and viewers may be able to review or update anomaly status depending on the product area.

Viewers cannot manage billing, connect or disconnect Azure subscriptions, invite teammates, change account-level settings, or delete the account.

Invitations

Viewer invitations are email-bound and expire after a limited time. If an invitation fails, confirm the invited email address, ask the owner to resend the invite, and sign in with the invited email.

Audit log

The audit log gives owners a history of significant account actions such as anomaly status changes, settings updates, subscription changes, team changes, and plan changes. Audit entries may include who took the action, what changed, timestamps, and related anomaly references.

The audit log is designed for accountability and support review. It is not a full replacement for Azure activity logs or your organization's compliance system.

When to escalate

Escalate if a user appears to have the wrong role, an invitation was accepted by the wrong person, an audit entry looks incorrect, or access needs to be reviewed for a departed teammate.
