Front End Screen to Update Item Help Text

Question

Hello, I've been asked to create an Apex front end screen which the Administrators can access in order to update the Help Text associated to the page items within our application (Apex 4).
I created a basic Interactive Report:
select page_id, item_name, display_as, ITEM_HELP_TEXT from APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_ITEMS where application_id = :APP_ID;
I also have an edit page, which contains the page id (display only), item_name (display only), item_help_text (text field).
Everything is working fine, except that when the Update process fires to update the help text, I get an Insufficient Privileges error message.
Update APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_ITEMS
set item_help_text = :p7_item_help_text
where item_id = :p7_item_id
and application_id = :APP_ID;
Just wondering, is it possible to update this APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_ITEMS table? If not, can you please advise what the workaround would be?
Thank you,
Laura

Log on as APEX_04000 user and then grant permission to your wpplication schema user. For a example if your application schema is app_user then
Grant SELECT,UPDATE ON APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_ITEMS  to app_user;Thanks
