Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.After running into a number of problems I noticed after changing the permission of a node, the access restriction does not update without flushing the cache as well
This problem does not occur with the D7 version of node access

mrpauldriver commentedDigging deeper, it seems that clearing either 'routing and links cache' or the 'views cache', fixes the issue. I don't know anything about routing and links, so any pointers to help my understanding would be appreciated.
Why the 'views cache' does has the effect when viewing a simple node with no views - I can not fathom!
I can foresee problems for site editors making changes to node access restrictions and failing to understand why they have not taken effect.
Is there something I can do so that permission changes take effect immediately?

EDIT
Should clarify that cache clearing seems necessary when granting/revoke access to a role. However clearing caches is not necessary for grants to individual users

weseze commentedI experienced the same problem with roles. Although it did not always happen...
The attached patch fixes it for me.
