Linking a billing account
A billing account is used to identify a user who pays for computing resources, nodes, and storage of resources of all the 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 at the step of selecting a billing account for the community.
Warning
If the selected billing account is suspended or has an overdue debt, you cannot link it to your DataSphere community. In this case, go to Yandex Cloud Billing
Only the community's administrator can link a billing account to it. To work with billing accounts, you also need the role editor
or higher. If you are an administrator in your community, but you do not have access to billing accounts in your organization, please contact your organization's administrator in Yandex Cloud.
Tip
You can only manage a billing account if you have a Yandex account. If you use Yandex Cloud via an identity federation, contact

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 whose project the dataset belongs to. - You can use secrets, Docker images, and aliases free-of-charge.
- S3 connectors are free of charge, but, storing objects in Yandex Object Storage buckets is paid from the billing account linked to the cloud the bucket belongs to.
- You can use Data Proc templates free-of-charge. However, running a cluster automatically created from a template is paid from the billing account of the cloud that the cluster belongs to.
