This page describes the Plan & Usage experience available to partners viewing the UI from a **partner admin organization**. ## Prerequisites{% #prerequisites %} To access the partner Plan & Usage experience, your organization must be a partner admin organization, which is the top-level organization that Datadog provisions for partners to manage their customer accounts. If your organization was set up through the Datadog Partner Program and you manage customer organizations under it, you are using a partner admin organization. To verify, check that you have multiple contracts with Datadog and can view consolidated cost and usage data across all of them in Plan & Usage. **Note**: If you are a *customer* of a Datadog partner (rather than the partner itself), you have the standard Plan & Usage experience. Depending on your pricing arrangement with your partner, you may see only usage data and no cost data. See [Plan & Usage](https://docs.datadoghq.com/account_management/plan_and_usage.md) for details. Partners must have the **Datadog Admin** role, or a custom role with `billing_read` and `usage_read` permissions, to view Plan & Usage data. These are the same permissions required for direct customers. ## Overview{% #overview %} Partners accessing Plan & Usage from their partner admin organization see cost and usage data across all of their customer organizations. Only the **Usage & Cost** tab is available in the partner view; the Plan, Billing History, and Usage Notifications tabs are not displayed. ### Cost details{% #cost-details %} View estimated, historical, and projected cost data for all customer organizations in one place. Partners can see a total across all customers, or group and filter by customer organization, product, and account. See [Cost Details](https://docs.datadoghq.com/account_management/plan_and_usage/cost_details.md) for full documentation. {% image source="https://docs.dd-static.net/images/account_management/plan_and_usage/partner-cost-details.eb31aa348b3e290096c87c7f57c2557d.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=850 1x, https://docs.dd-static.net/images/account_management/plan_and_usage/partner-cost-details.eb31aa348b3e290096c87c7f57c2557d.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=850&dpr=2 2x" alt="Cost Summary page for a partner admin organization showing estimated and projected costs across customer organizations with a cumulative cost breakdown chart and per-customer cost table." /%} ### Usage details{% #usage-details %} View usage data for all customer organizations in one place.
