### Overview

Create a Cloud Cost Management account for an Google Cloud Usage Cost config. This endpoint requires the `cloud_cost_management_write` permission.

OAuth apps require the `cloud_cost_management_write` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#cloud-cost-management) to access this endpoint.
