Linking a billing account
A billing account is used to identify the user who pays for computing resources, nodes, and resource storage for all community projects.
You can create a Yandex Cloud billing account in advance and link it when creating a community. In the DataSphere interface, you can also create a new billing account when selecting a billing account for the community.
Warning
If the selected billing account has an outstanding balance or suspended status, you will not be able to link it to a DataSphere community. If this is the case, go to Yandex Cloud Billing
Only a community user with the datasphere.communities.editor
role or higher can link a billing account to a community. To manage billing accounts, you also need the billing.accounts.editor
role or higher. If you are a community admin but have no access to billing accounts in your organization, contact your organization's admin in Yandex Cloud.
Tip
To manage a billing account, you must have a Yandex account. If using Yandex Cloud through an identity federation, contact
Changing a community billing account

role in the community can change the billing account used to pay for community projects and resources.

Who pays for shared resources
How you pay for shared DataSphere resources depends on the resource type:
- Storing a dataset is paid from the billing account of the
parent
community in whose project the dataset was created. - Using secrets, Docker images, and aliases is free of charge.
- Using S3 connectors is free of charge; however, storing objects in a Yandex Object Storage bucket is paid from the billing account linked to the cloud hosting that bucket.
- Using Yandex Data Processing templates is free of charge; however, running a cluster automatically created from a template is paid from the billing account of the cloud hosting that cluster.
