Enable Cost Explorer service

Question

Hi,

I followed the [tutorial ](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/latest/userguide/ce-enable.html) for enabling the Cost Explorer service.

But when I go to the Home page I have this message:

"*Please contact your payer account to enable Cost Management data services*."

I am signed-in with my root account

Thanks,

Sounds like you have more than one AWS account in an Organization where this is a member account.  Does that sound right?  You have to enable cost management in the Management AWS account.

Thank you ! You were right, I had more than one account in an Organization

Is there a way to know if I have another AWS account in my Organization ?

You can check in the "Organizations" service in the AWS console - it will tell you what your Organization ID is and show the management account ID and root user email address.
