Your organization has just set up a self-serve Cloud Billing account. Requirements: finance leads must manage payment methods and all account settings; each project owner should be able to link or unlink only their own projects, without seeing cost data or altering payments; business analysts must view spend reports for all projects, with no edit rights. Which set of IAM roles, granted on the billing account, satisfies these requirements using least privilege?
Finance leads need the Billing Account Administrator role because it alone allows changing payment instruments and other account-level settings. Project owners only need to link or unlink their own projects, which is possible with the Billing Account User role and does not expose cost data. Analysts require visibility into spending but no modification permissions, provided by the Billing Account Viewer role. Any other combination grants either insufficient or excessive privileges.
