# Creating a Yandex Cloud Billing connection

You can only access statistics in the billing accounts where you have the `viewer`, `editor`, or `admin` role. See [Access management](../../../billing/security/index.md#primitive-roles).
Access to a billing account is granted to a user or service account [on the list of users](../../../billing/security/index.md#set-member-role) of the selected account. See [this detailed guide](../../../billing/security/index.md#set-role).
