HI @Paul Russo,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!

You must have an owner or a contributor role on the billing profile or its billing account to update its email invoice preference. Once you have opted-in, all users with an owner, contributor, readers, and invoice manager roles on a billing profile get its invoice in email.
