**Version**: R80.40 (EOS), R81 (EOS), R81.10 (EOS), R81.20

## Symptoms

- When switching an AD user to a different AD group, they may still retain access to resources from their previous group, effectively being in both groups simultaneously. But this does not show in the PDP monitor.
- The AD user is still seen in the old AD group.
- The Access role is not updated.
- Error from `vpnd` debugs:

```

```

## Cause

When changing the AD user group, the PDP does not update the access roles.

> **To enable, Check Point Security Gateway, run:**

Check Point recommends to always upgrade to the Recommended version (Security Gateway / VSX / Security Management Server / Multi-Domain Security Management Server / SmartConsole).
