AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner

Explanation

IAM users can view the AWS Billing console without needing root user credentials, but they cannot perform administrative billing actions unless specifically granted permissions.

Why other options are incorrect:

• Change to a different AWS Support plan: This requires root user credentials as it involves changing account-level support settings
• Close an AWS account: This is a critical account-level action that can only be performed by the root user
• Activate access to the AWS Billing console: This requires root user credentials to grant IAM users billing permissions

Key Points:

• IAM users can view billing information if they have the necessary IAM permissions
• Administrative billing actions (like changing support plans or closing accounts) require root user credentials
• The root user has full access to all AWS services and resources, while IAM users have limited permissions based on policies
