Privileges dialog: User/Role tab

Use this tab to configure specific privileges for users and roles. For example:

• to look at which users and roles have Administration privileges

• to check that a group of roles have the Save Workbooks to Database privilege

• to revoke drill out privileges for specified users

Note that Oracle Applications users have responsibilities instead of users.
