Ok. So, you only have access to the "Employee" role?

Ok. Perfect. You could have found the same through
HR->Employee->Search->(you)->(Tab)User -> "Save Groups"
May I suggest that this is entirely the wrong approach to a user interface?

... If I'd follow that line of reasoning, would we have to show all
cost-dimensions in the application too? I mean: then we would have to show
projects, departments, business units, etc, etc in the ar/ap invoice, ar/ap
transaction and gl transaction entry. That's a *lot* of tab-key entries
which aren't necessary for most users.
