Permissions and Roles question

This may be a Reporting services question, sorry if wrong NG.
I created a number of roles in Active Directory to limit
access to reports in the Management Portal for Job X. Initially, I created
a role for each report and then added groups to those roles. After getting
this
all set, I determined that it would probably be a better idea to set up more
general report roles that could encompass groups of reports rather than
individual reports. I deleted most of the original roles I created and
created
new roles to serve this new structure. Now, when I hit AD for a list of
groups
to set permissions, I am returning the original roles that I have since
deleted
and the new roles I created are not in the list. I am assuming this has
something to do with a local cache on my machine, but I do not know how to
refresh this cache from Active Directory. I have done a ton of searching on
Google trying to solve this problem and so far cannot find anything that
seems
to speak to the issue I am having. There is a good possibility that roles
will
be added or changed as this program gets rolling and if I'm having this
issue during the debug process it seems logical that end users may
experience
the same difficulties if I cannot resolve this before launch.

Many Thanks
Mike

Hello MRNews,

Which reporting service do you talk about, SQL or SCCM?
