PM21723: Differences between PowerPlay client and BI Studios when consumer root is set up

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you set up a consumer root in the system.xml file you
  non-administrative users can use packages that are in the root
  of the public folders with the BI Studios (QS for example).
  However, in Powerplay client, the user is only able to use
  packages that are physically located within the consumer root.
  This is inconsistent across our products. Further, in Powerplay
  client, if you log in as a system administrator and choose
  choose "Remote Cube" the first time the administrator logs in,
  we see the root of the public folders. If you go to
  File->new->Remote cube after selecting a package within the
  public folders, we are restricted to the content of the consumer
  root.  ??
