After installing PowerShell for Azure Stack Hub and configuring the Azure Stack Hub user PowerShell environment, the next step to view and retrieve usage data in PowerShell is to call the appropriate PowerShell cmdlet that retrieves the desired usage data.

Out of the provided options, the correct cmdlet to retrieve the usage data is Get-AzsSubscriberUsage PowerShell cmdlet (Option A). This cmdlet retrieves the usage data of a specific user, offering a comprehensive view of the resources used by that user in Azure Stack Hub.

It is important to note that to use this cmdlet, you must have the appropriate role-based access control (RBAC) permissions assigned to your user account in Azure Stack Hub. For example, to retrieve usage data for all users in the Azure Stack Hub, you must have the built-in Reader or Owner role assigned to your account. If you are trying to retrieve usage data for a specific user, you must have the User or Owner role assigned to your account for that user's subscription.

To call the Get-AzsSubscriberUsage PowerShell cmdlet, you can use the following syntax:

php
Get-AzsSubscriberUsage -SubscriptionId <SubscriptionId>

where <SubscriptionId> is the ID of the subscription for which you want to retrieve usage data.

You can also use various parameters with the cmdlet to filter the usage data, such as the start and end time of the usage data, the resource group, or the resource type.

In summary, after installing PowerShell for Azure Stack Hub and configuring the user PowerShell environment, you can retrieve usage data by calling the Get-AzsSubscriberUsage PowerShell cmdlet with the appropriate parameters.
