What capability is needed for a user to be able to use/read the lookups?

Hi Guys,

I created lookups and dashboards with lookups using an admin role. Now when other users (no admin role) are viewing the dashboards, all reports with lookups are not working. I made sure that the other users have permission to read the lookups (files, definitions and automatic lookups) but it's still not working.

The report will work when I add the "admin_all_objects" capability to those users. However, I cannot let all users to have admin rights to all objects. Is there any other way to fix this?

Thanks!
