Sophos XG Firewall not blocking user access if removed from AD group

We are evaluating Sophos XG Firewall (VM). SFOS 17.1.2 MR2. Following Sophos official guide, We installed Sophos Transparent Authentication Suite (STAS) on domain controller, afterwards imported users/groups in Sophos XG. In AD , we have group like 'internet allow group' with test user. XG is allowing internet based on this group.

All working OK, BUT when I remove this test user from this group in AD, the test user can still access internet on his test computer. I waited for about half n hour but still client can access internet. the only way to block his access is to disconnect his Session from CURRENT ACTIVITIES > LIVE USERS > select Username and DISCONNECT.

And when I again add him in Allowed Internet Users group in AD, he does not gets access, and I have to first disconnect his session.

why sophos not implementing ON THE FLY changing ? I guess I am missing some information. Kindly advise


I thought I can manage users internet access simply it via active directory groups only.
Currently we are using MS forefront TMG 2010 in which we simply add  /  remove users in active directory group 'allowed internet group' and TMG picks the users groups pretty quick.
so in order to block/allow user, I have to update things in Sophos too?
