Have you tried reproducing the issue with the latest release?

YES

Steps to reproduce the issue (command/config used to run Dgraph).

Dgraph cluster was brought up using the docker-compose yaml file in dgraph directory.

  • Bring up the Dgraph cluster with ACL feature turned on.
  • Create a new user and a new group. Add the newly created user to the new group.
  • Give permission to read/write/modify.
  • Try to read/write/modify right afterward.

For the ACL tests of Dgraph clients currently, the delay is set to 6 seconds, which does get the work done.

Expected behaviour and actual result.

Expected for ACL permission change to affect as soon as the response of success is relayed.
