Refresh Security Roles

How long does it take for a change in a security role to take effect in the
system? I have made changes to a custom role and the changes do not appear to
have taken effect. Is a publish needed to refresh this or IIS restart (or
possibly neither)?

Thanks

Bryan,

Depending on the number of records and org structure in your database,
it can take a great deal of time for the security descriptors to be
updated, but you shouldn't need an IIS reset or have to publish
anything. I would recommend making changes to roles at the end of the
day when users aren't logged in or those users that have that role may
not be able to log in and use the system.

Look in the Program Files\Microsoft CRM\Server\Bin directory after you
update a role. There is a file called the "SSPCQC.bin" that will be in
the directory while the changes are propagating. Once that .bin file
disappears, the security descriptors have been updated and your changes
should have taken effect. Make sure you are showing hidden files and
folders in that directory or you won't see the .bin file.

Good luck!

Dave,
Thanks, that solution worked perfectly. I was begining to wonder why none
of my changes where taking effect.

Thanks again
