Manage billing groups

Costs associated with services and features in an Aiven project are charged to the payment method assigned to its billing group.

Billing groups let you set up billing profiles and use them across different projects in your organization. A consolidated invoice is created for each billing group.

You must have the organization:billing:write permission to create and manage billing groups.
