I have a weird problem.
First, some background info:
We are using MOSS 2007 with Active Directory.
I have a site that everyone in our organization can view.
In this site, I have a list with unique permissions.
A SharePoint group has approver access to this list.
In this SharePoint group I have an AD group. When I created the list and the AD group at the beginning of the year everything worked as expected.
Yesterday, I added a new member to that AD group and tested his approver permission but they didn’t work. Meaning, the user was not an approver.
I doubled check that everything was correct and nada.
Finally, I decided to give him direct approval rights to the list and that work without a problem.
Today, I wanted to spend some time troubleshooting the problem so I removed the direct permissions I set yesterday and now everything works fine.
Note that I did not remove the permissions for the SharePoint group before I added him directly.
How do I begin to troubleshoot this problem?
Is the AD group information being cached somewhere?
If, so how do I configure the refresh rate?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
