About This Page
It appears that even if an IAM user has AdministratorAccess permissions, they cannot view the cost management page.
Overview of Managing Access - AWS Billing
Simply activating IAM access does not grant IAM users and roles the permissions required for these Billing Console pages. In addition to activating IAM access, you must attach the required IAM policies to these users or roles. For more information, see “Using Identity-Based Policies (IAM Policies) with AWS Billing.”
To activate the [Activate IAM Access] setting, you must sign in to your AWS account using root user credentials, then select the setting on the My Account page. Activate this setting for each account where you want to allow IAM users and roles access to Billing Console pages. If you use AWS Organizations, activate this setting for each management account or member account where you want to allow IAM users and roles to access console pages.
