@klor This sounds potentially like a cache. ProcessWire caches the top navigation once per session, so if you made an update to permissions/roles that affects the top navigation, then the affected user would need to logout and login again before they'd see it. Can you test to see if this might be the issue? Thanks.

@ryancramerdesign is there a reason why ProcessWire does not take care of flushing the cache when it is needed? There are several situations where that is necessary. I got used to using the tracy bar (clear cookies and refresh), but that is only available to superusers and I don't want to give users that permission and also I don't want to explain to them when/where they have to think about flushing a cache to get what they expect. Are there any big drawbacks that I can't see? I didn't realise any performance penalty when flushing the navigation cache, so I wonder why ProcessWire is not more active in flushing the cache? Wouldn't it be better to flush the cache better too often than not often enough?
