NAME OF APEX TABLE HOLDING USER INFORMATION

Question

I need to check the DESCRIPTION field in the Manage Users and Groups area.
What is the name of the table holding this user data? I've been searching around in DD but it might be faster to just ask.
Thanks.

Hi Jari and Jeff -
Here's what I want to do with this; maybe you can help?
My application catalogs controlled documents for our company and the form dumps data into a table called DOC_INFO. Certain users (managers) need to approve those documents being catalogued. When the document is catalogued (with lots of other data entered as well), the "Approval Required" box will get checked if it needs approval.
I've created a tabular form based on the same table (DOC_INFO) with only a few fields (i.e., document number, document title), the APPROVAL_REQ field (hidden), and an "APPROVED" checkbox, all of which reside in the DOC_INFO table. The query for this tabular form just uses [...WHERE APPROVAL_REQ = 'Yes']. Then, to approve, the user merely uses a YES/NO select list (easier for me to get working than a checkbox) on the tabular form and when submitted, that entry disappears. All works beautifully.
DOC_INFO also holds an OWNER field (a document being catalogued is "owned" by the person (actually the job position, i.e., production manager, who initiates it). The FETCH_USER.DESCRIPTION field also holds this job position. We're going to set up a button from our home page to send out an email to those users who need to approve documents. Soooooooooooo.........
When that user logs in to review the docuements needing approval, I want that user to see only those that s/he needs to approve. I figure somehow I need to use the FETCH_USER procedure, check to see if the description matches the OWNER field, then return records if it does. But I don't know how to utilize the FETCH_USER procedure.
Whadaya think?
Thanks again in advance,
