# Create a Cloud Cost Management account

Creating a Cloud Cost Management account is the first step. Once the account is successfully created, your cost data will be imported and soon available to explore.

In order to do that, you need adequate credentials/permissions that can access your cost data.

If you don't have a fitting credential in Cycloid, the creation process will guide you to make a new one. After that, account configuration will take place.
