| 45 | +- Enter a **name** and the **AWS Account ID** for which you want to create the report. |
| 46 | +- Under the **Permissions** section, select **Cloud Cost Access**. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +Before clicking **Create**, click the **Create Role on AWS** button. This will redirect you to the AWS CloudFormation console for the account you opened earlier. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +> Deploy the provided CloudFormation stack — it will create the necessary IAM role within your AWS account. |
| 51 | +
|
| 52 | +Once the stack is successfully created, return and click the **Create** button. |

| 65 | + |
| 66 | +</Steps> |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +## Final Notes |
