Managing cloud environments created by multiple users of a workspace Completed
As an owner of many Billing Accounts and Workspaces, I manage the costs of each workspace.
I often add users to groups that have Compute Access to a workspace. I also often grant "Compute Access" to individual accounts in a workspace.
The consequence is that there are multiple users of each workspace -- and each user could be running a cloud environment (incurring costs) and keeping a persistent disk (incurring costs).
I currently do not see any way for Owners of a workspace, or more importantly, Owners of a Billing Project, to monitor these costs.
Could this be a feature request?
Thanks,
Alisa

Hello Alisa
Thank you for writing in! I've added your concerns as support for an existing feature request about monitoring costs, and I'll be happy to follow up with you if this feature gets built.
Kind regards,

Hi Alisa,
We recently released a new spend report feature called the Consolidated Spend Report at the top of the billing projects list will show the costs for all workspaces you have Owner or Project Owner access to. This report shows all costs associated with a workspace, regardless of the billing source, sortable by spend and searchable by Google Project ID.
You can read more about this feature here: https://support.terra.bio/hc/en-us/articles/31182586327323
You can use this information and go to the Cloud Environments page (https://app.terra.bio/#clusters) and then uncheck "Hide resources you did not create" to manage these resources as a billing project owner.
Hopefully these features help manage your compute costs. Let us know if you have any other suggestions!
