• Track Azure OpenAI Service spend per initiative for accurate AI cost measurement
• Measure total Azure infrastructure cost changes attributable to AI workloads
• Monitor month-over-month spend trends across Azure services
• Scope costs to a specific initiative using Azure Resource Tags

1. In Azure Active Directory: Go to App registrations → New registration to create a Service Principal for Roiva
2. In Azure Active Directory: Under the new app registration, go to Certificates & secrets → New client secret; copy the secret value immediately
3. In Azure Active Directory: Copy the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID from the app registration overview
4. In Azure: Go to Subscriptions → select your subscription → Access control (IAM) → Add role assignment; assign Cost Management Reader to the Service Principal you just created
5. In Azure: Copy the Subscription ID from the subscription overview page
6. Back in Roiva: Enter your Subscription ID in the Subscription ID field below
7. Back in Roiva: Paste credentials in the format tenant_id:client_id:client_secret and save the connection
8. Back in Roiva: After connecting, link this connection to an initiative on the Initiatives tab

• Tag Azure resources with a consistent key (e.g. Initiative=InvoiceAI) and add tag_key and tag_value as Filters on your initiative link — costs will be scoped to that tag automatically
• Without tag filters, Roiva pulls account-wide monthly spend totals across all services — still useful as a baseline
• Azure OpenAI Service appears as a line item in the cost breakdown; filter by tag to isolate spend for a specific initiative
• The Cost Management Reader role is sufficient — Roiva only reads cost data, never writes to Azure
