Shared Reports and Refresh Now

Hi All,

 

I was wondering if someone could clear somthing up as Im finding the documentaion confusing and I cannot find a solution available aleady.

 

How does Refresh Now work for users who have only had a report and data ets shared with them, do all the users who have the report shared with them also need a personal gateway installed or will the one instance of the prsonal gateway installed and set up witht he credentials of the report creator do the job?

    redbadger Regarding Shared Report:

    For shared dashboards, users can only view/read dashboard. Cannot create any new report or pin visualizations to dashboard.

    Also user cannot create new reports from it.

    Refresh:

    A shared dashboard cannot be refreshed by user. Only person who have shared can do so and he/she needs to have data management gateway installed on his/her machine. 

    But user can see refreshed data from time-to-time although he cannot refresh. 

     

    Hope things are clear!
