Last updated: 2024-11-01 17:49:19

APM can be used with the Tencent Cloud resource tag feature to perform tag-based sub-account authorization and cost allocation.
Resource tag is a resource management tool provided by Tencent Cloud, which has two parts: tag key and tag value. One tag key can correspond to multiple tag values. You can use tags for cost allocation and authorization in the following steps.
Use Cases
A company has multiple business systems connected to APM, which are developed and operated separately by departments A and B. You want to create tags, bind resources, and grant permissions to the two departments as follows:
Create tag A and bind it to all business systems of department A.
Create tag B and bind it all business systems of department B.
Authorization by tag
User A is a developer in department A and is responsible for the development of all business systems in the department. You want to grant tag A's permission to user A.
Cost allocation by tag
User B is a company accountant responsible for the separate accounting of the financial expenditures of departments A and B. You want to grant user B the permissions of tags A and B to allocate costs by tag.

Cost Allocation by Tag
Step 1. Set a cost allocation tag
Set tags A and B as cost allocation tags in the following steps:
1. To use the tag feature for bills, you need to go to the Billing Center and select Bills > Cost Allocation Tags on the left sidebar. The tag key set as a cost allocation tag will be displayed as a separate column of the bill. You can filter and categorize bills based on this tag key.
2. On this page, you can view the list of created tag keys. Select the tag key to be displayed and click Set as Cost Allocation Tag to set the tag key as a cost allocation tag in the bill.
﻿
﻿
Note: 
You can set 5 cost allocation tags at most. A small number of such tags makes it easier for you to manage your costs.
Step 2. Display bills by tag
You can view and click the new option By Tag on the Bill Overview page. Then, you can select a specific tag key to view the column chart and list of relevant resources aggregated by the tag key.
