    Thank you for the report! Could you confirm whether the issue persists after the affected users sign out and sign back in?

    If the changes do take effect after re-authentication, this is expected behavior rather than a bug. RBAC permissions are applied at two levels:

    • UI/Client rules are only refreshed upon sign-out and sign-in.
    • API-level access controls apply immediately.

    If the changes are still not reflected even after a fresh login, could you let us know which specific or control is not being applied? That will help us narrow down the issue further.

    Loggin out and in worked!

    My suggestion would bo to create a notice that users must do this when changes are made.
    And a note of this on https://www.passbolt.com/docs/admin/role-based-access-control/ would be helpfull.

    Thank you for responding so quickly!
