We follow the least privilege principle (AWS's security best practice) when it comes to role creation, i.e. we only ask for minimal scoped permissions for every action you take.

The first step, The PumpBillingReadOnly IAM role policy is a pre-defined policy that grants read-only access to billing information, granting the following actions on all billing resources

These actions allows us to only view information about billing reports, cost and usage reports, and other billing-related resources in the account.

Hitting the 'Connect AWS' button should take you to a creation of AWS CloudFormation stack page, scroll down all the way to the bottom, and check this box to proceed.
