Active Directory Roles Out of Sync
Thanks for the reply Daniel - I have logged out and logged in but the roles are still not updated, is there any scheduled job I can run to flush them out and update with the new ones?

And it's when you are trying to assign access for a specific page in admin where they don't show up? Or when creating new user?
Have you got very many roles in AD? Think there's a limit on 1000 default...

Yes it's when assigning access rights in "Set Access Rights". I had already hit the limit on number of roles, which is why I had to implement the custom role provider, because I am now targeting a specific OU that contains only roles relevant for EPiServer. There's only about 10 in there now.

Hmm weird. Tried using the original AD provider but limit to ou in connection string like?
LDAP://mail.company.se/OU=Users,DC=company,DC=local

Hi Daniel
I couldn't get this to work. Not sure where to go next. I can see where these roles are coming from - tblSynchedUserRole. Is it safe to wipe this table and hope it fills them with the correct roles?
Thanks

So I wiped the table and logged in again, but the roles didn't sync. I had to manually enter the roles into this table, which did work. It seems for me the autosync is not working - a minor annoyance but I'll have to live with it.

I recently made some changes and added a custom Active Directory Role Provider. It works, because when you search in the admin panel Search Users/Groups I can see the correct roles. However, when assigning access through Add Users/Groups, I seem to get a strange half complete list of groups I had in there from before the change. How can I update the roles in that window? Why are the two searches different?
