Access denied even though ive set permissions
0
I am the only user. I log in with the only account I have. I have set the permissions on my user for AdministratorAccess and Billing.
In Billing & Cost Management, i get access denied for everything.
I don't understand why. Can anyone help?

You have to login as ROOT first to enable IAM Access to billing. Please follow instructions here
- Sign in to the AWS Management Console with your root user credentials (specifically, the email address and password that you used to create your AWS account).
- On the navigation bar, select your account name, and then select Account.
- Scroll down the page until you find the section IAM User and Role Access to Billing Information, then select Edit.
- Select the Activate IAM Access check box to activate access to the Billing and Cost Management console pages.
- Choose Update. The page displays the message IAM user/role access to billing information is activated.

Also note that the AdministratorAccess policy allows all actions. The other policies you've attached don't actually do anything, when AdministratorAccess grants access to absolutely everything.
