I created a dba user for my dev environment and I can click on Tools -> Monitor Sessions and see everything. I then created a dba user for my prod environment but when I click on Tools -> Monitor Sessions, I get: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist [cid:image001.png@01D0453B.BAB25220] What did I forget to add?
