Flush Cached User Accounts and Roles

The following views in System / Archibus Administrator - User and Security offer the Flush Cached User Accounts and Roles action:

• Assign Processes to Roles or Users
• Add or Edit Users
• Add or Edit User Roles
• Assign Security Groups to Roles

After making changes that affect a role assignment, use this action to flush all cached user roles for the current project so that the changes can take effect.

Without running this action, you must restart the application server in order for changes to take effect.

Procedure

1. Make a change that affects role assignment using one of the above tasks.
2. Click the Flush Cached User Accounts and Roles button, located in the upper right corner of the view.
   
   
3. The system confirms that you want to run this action and explains that this action signs out all users that are currently signed in.
4. Confirm the action, and the system:
   • signs out all users that are currently signed in, including the current account
   • flushes all cached account information, except the core user
5. Sign out and then sign in again. The changes that you made will now be in effect.
6. The action does not update changes to the role used by the core user account or changes to the core user account, that is the SYSTEM user, assigned to the SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR (ACP) role. To apply changes to this account, you must restart the application server. To restart the application server on Archibus SaaS deployments, you must contact Archibus Technical Support and request a restart of the cloud environment.
