I understand from above link that in case of section access implemented at document level ,end user can only see field values mentioned inside "section application" which is not the same case if section access is implemented at server level then what is the use of implementing section access at server level?

A small correction would help you understand better I guess. In the server when a qvw file is reloaded and stored, the account which is used is Service Account. So, ideally you should use your service account in the section access to have all field values (admin) that all users might need. That ensures the qvw file that would be referred by the UI client users would have all values, and the users would see their respective values only , So section access purpose is achieved.

To rephrase, the physical qvw file in the server would have all values , however, the users (using browser or other clients) would see only values pertaining to them.

Desktop level SA can be used by local ADMINS to reload, edit or reduce. But on Server, Service Account is used as an ADMIN to reload or distribute.

There is no difference for what a user see in qvw file(locally or server). Locally any user with ADMIN access can control or reload the document but on server(QMC) it has to be service account and that service account should be added to Inline or with in Section Access script.

You cannot reload or distribute the qvw without service account on server level, rest all it is same.
