Oracle Discoverer unable to open the workbook due to insufficient Permissio

Question

I have an error message when I try to open a workbook with some worksheet.
( It's working fine with only one Worksheet)
Any idea ?

Answer 1

Well here's how it's supposed to work.
Step 1: Create workbook A with 5 reports (5 worksheets)
Step 2: Go into Disco Admin and make sure each business area where the folder(s) referred to in the step 1 can be seen by each user you're sharing the workbook with (security). For example, if worksheet 1 accesses business area: GL_Stuff, then security on GL_Stuff must be with all 5 users you'll share the report with.
Step 3. Share workbook A with the 5 users (via Plus or Desktop where you created the workbook).
Step 4. All users can see and run the workbook / worksheet.
Questions:
1. I don't know what you mean in your Step 3. There's no permissions at this point. What you do is give read to ALL tables / views, etc. to the owner of the EUL. Then either the owner of the EUL (or another user who has been given admin privs) controls security to other roles via the Tools-> Security window in Admin.
2. Are you 5 worksheets based on the same business area or are they going to different business areas. No problem if going to different ones, but you must make sure security for sharing with the other users / roles is for each business area they will be using to retrieve data from the folder and therefore the underlying view / table / sql statement.
