Can we merge this heading with the previous one:
Required permissions to enable Datadog Costs (opt-in)
The "Required permissions" section now only contains a single subsection ("To enable Datadog Costs (opt-in)") and it looks funny to have the two heading after each other
| To activate Datadog Costs, navigate to the [{{< ui >}}Plan & Usage{{< /ui >}} page][7] and click {{< ui >}}Get Started{{< /ui >}} in the modal to "View Datadog Costs in Cloud Cost Management". Alternatively, you can contact your account representative or [Datadog Support][8]. | ||

I would either remove completely cloud_cost_management_read, users do not strictly need this permission to see datadog costs in CCM.
Maybe leave it as note that i can be useful to grant that permission to users so they can view other providers in CCM?
