I hope somebody knows how to deal with this issue.

I don't know about Jasen's case but i am running the site on a Windows 2003 development server and accessing it from a Windows XP machine. Both the server and client machines are on a local intranet network.

User roles are updated only after a period of time e.g. 20 seconds or if i log out and log in again.

Any help would be greatly apperciated.

I don't know if this was was ever solved. It has been a while since the last post. I've posted the following on a couple other threads. Thought I'd do the same here in case some of you are still watching for replies.

I've had this same problem intermittently for a while. I've been through the forums here for help but just found that lots of us have the issue. So I decided to debug myself. Likewise for me, all works well in my dev environment, but not on QA and production. I believe I've found the issue and I've put in a bug report. I'd bet in your dev environment you run your database server on the same machine as your web server and in your live environment they are on separate machines. Take a look at http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=7070&PROJID=23. I put my workaround in there. If that doesn't work for you, after you understand the problem, you'll probably be able to come up with another.

One final note: You still need to clear the "portalroles" cookie and the user cache sometime between adding the new role and redirecting to a page that requires the new role. The following two lines of code will do it:

         DotNetNuke.Security.PortalSecurity.ClearRoles();
         DataCache.ClearUserCache(PortalId, Username);
