  2. From the ClosedActivate Drawer window, enter the Drawer you want to activate or click the  button to look up a drawer to activate.

You can only activate a drawer that you are authorized to use. If you specify a drawer for which you are not authorized, an error message appears, alerting you that the drawer is not valid.
