## Frequently asked questions

### Where should I start?

Start with the FinOps overview for the discipline that ties it together, then use the specific guide, cloud, or location page for the task you are on.

### Is production at risk?

No. Production is excluded by default; ZopNight acts only on the non-production resources you choose.

### What access does ZopNight need?

A read-only role to start. Discovery, cost reporting, and recommendations all run read-only, and you enable actions when you are ready.
