## Permissions to Hide Costs

Quantify has permissions that enable you to hide the costs in Product Catalog, *Rate Profiles* and *Out of Service* dialogs, pivots and reports. These permissions restrict viewing to only specified roles.

The **View List And Cost** permission controls the visibility of list and cost in the *Rate Profile* dialog and report.
