Users with appropriate permissions can use the Dashboard editor to add content to a dashboard by dragging it from a selection pane onto the dashboard layout page. The look of a dashboard, such as background colors and the size of text, is controlled by styles and skins and can also be changed with a cosmetic formatting dialog box.
Dashboard creation is reserved for users with administrative responsibilities. Permission to modify dashboards (personal and shared) is granted to a broader range of users, as determined by an Oracle BI administrator.
