Manage Priveliges - Subject areas not visible??

The OBIEE admin has ability to hide or show a subject area to groups of users using manage privilege link. However this link does not have subject areas listed by default.

The functionality is as follows:
      1. A Subject Area is stored in a webcat once a user has accessed it via Answers. 2. The Subject Area will be visible in the Admin and Manage Privileges link only if a user has accessed the Answers link.
      3. Subject Areas will persist for the life of the webcat, but will not be accessible via the Admin and Manage Privileges link after the webserver services have been stopped and restarted. They will only be accessible once a user (any user) has accessed the Answers page in a webclient session.
      4. The behavior described in Step 3 ensures that potentially archived, deleted or renamed subject areas are not visible for setting privileges.
      5. The View privileges will also not be accessible via the Admin > Manage Privileges link after a webserver service recycle until and unless a user (any user) has accessed it in a webclient session.
          a. When you run a request, the following privileges become visible in the Admin > Manage Privileges link
          View Compound
          View Filters
          View Narrative

          b. When the user clicks on "Customize View", the following privileges become visible:
          View Create Segment
          View Chart

          c. When the user clicks on Views Tab, the following privileges become visible:
