The Refresh option is displayed in the Data menu for all users and the Re-run Report option is disabled, regardless of the users’ Webprivileges.

Users can refresh the report from its cache by clicking the Refresh icon on the Standard toolbar or by selecting Refresh from the Data menu.
Note: When a user is assigned the Power User role, the following additional options are displayed only for a document:
Regenerate: Retrieves the data from the dataset cache and re-executes the document.
Re-run document: Retrieves the data from the warehouse and re-executes the document.

To ensure that only users with the “Web re-execute report against warehouse” privilege can see the latest data from the data sources when they select Refresh, select Re-run against the warehouse. When this option is selected:
For users who have the “Web re-execute report against warehouse” privilege: The Re-run Report option is available in the Data menu, but the Refresh option is not. Users can re-run the report with data from data sources by selecting Re-run Report.
For users who do not have the “Web re-execute report against warehouse” privilege: The Refresh option is available in the Data menu, but the Re-run Report is not. Users can refresh the report from its cache by selecting Refresh.
