Problem with applying application roles to AD users in OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.7.140527)

Question

Hello!

We have Active Directory integration in our OBIEE 11g environment.

We created several groups in AD and then set up same Application roles in EM.

After that we added specific access (privileges) to Catalog objects based on those roles.

But when I try to check end users access to certain objects i don't see any changes. And Users don't have access.

Can i solve the problem by entering the web-interface directly on client machine and click update metadata button?

Is it correct?

Could check the security going "OFFLINE" Mode ( runcat.cmd or runcat.sh), check  if you see the change the permissions between your objects and Application Roles, and let us about it. And also check the link that @FTisiot provides you https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/bi.1111/e10543/authentication.htm#BIESC5978

In my case it does not work.   May be browser cashe?

We use IE 11.

Only  Administration-> Reload Files and Metadata    on client machine solves the problem.

It's strange behavior.
