### Why you may need to refresh your privileges
When you log in to your account, the system loads your permissions (what you are allowed to do) into your current session.
If an administrator updates your privileges while you are still logged in, your session may still be using the old permissions. This means you might continue to see restrictions even though access has already been granted.

### What the “Refresh Privileges” button does
The **Refresh Privileges** button updates your current session to reflect the latest permissions assigned to you instantly, instead of requiring you to log out and log back in, the system.

### When you should use it
Use this when:
- An admin has just updated your access privileges, and
- You are still unable to perform an action you were granted
