Anyone else having issues of permissions changing after one of the monthly patchs/fixes are installed?

Question

This is the2nd or 3rd time it has happened to us that we have seen a change in permissions or other misc weird issues after a patch was installed. Prior to the patch install last week PM role was able to create a task on the activities tab of a project. We use it to manage/request a permit for a project. After the patch it was greyed out so they no longer had permission to access it.

I fixed it but I am frustrated because it not always easy to find the permission since the permissions are so granular its a time burden. I am trying to get all depts to do everything inside Acumatica rather than using Word/excel but it doesn’t help my case when I have users complaining because now they can’t get in.

​@eucciferri35 - I work at an OEM and don’t have this particular issue.But if you have problems with permissions after upgrades in future, I’ve found some success with:1. Add a new Role to the system in the Role screen.That’s it, this forces Role based permissions to recalculate for all records. I've seen a few issues on upgrade from older versions where RolesInGraph didn’t populate correctly for some reason, and this sounds like the same behaviour.(In my cases, I’ve always found that the * record for the given screen/function has the wrong access rights level or is missing.)
