Notes

• Before displaying the folders in a business area, Discoverer checks if the user has database access to the tables referenced in the folders. If they don't have the necessary permission, Discoverer does not display the folders. You can override this check by changing the value of the ObjectsAlwaysAccessible registry setting (for more information, see ObjectsAlwaysAccessible in Chapter 22, "Discoverer registry settings").

• When logged in as an Oracle Applications user, the term Role is replaced with Responsibility.

• You can select more than one business area by pressing the Ctrl key and clicking another business area.
