Make sure when you are flushing your local Browser cache (in IE) that the "Preserve Favorites website data" is UNCHECKED and that Form Data is CHECKED.

I have a field on a form that has no privileges configured on it, so no one but full admins should see it. But for some reason an underprivileged user account can see this field on the mid-tier running on the same machine, call it machine QA. I have the same form on a server & mid-tier running on machine DEV, and the field is appropriately invisible to the (effectively) same user account. If I point DEV's mid-tier at server QA, the field is appropriately invisible. If I point QA's mid-tier at server DEV, the field is appropriately invisible. I've tried the above on different browsers running on different machines with the same results. So, it seems that the problem manifests ONLY when QA's mid-tier is pointing at QA's server. I've (of course) tried flushing the cache on QA's mid-tier, bouncing QA's Tomcat, and even bouncing machine QA itself, but the problem persists. And during the these bounces, I've turned off QA's cache persistence but no joy. The field (in this case) is a display field, so this is NOT an issue about seeing or modifying data without appropriate privileges. So I have no reason to suspect a problem with ARS itself not enforcing permission policies, and in fact the evidence (outlined above) would seem to suggest something wrong with QA's mid-tier. But it IS an issue (to me) that the field is visible. I've simplified my description here a bit and the problem does extend beyond what I've described here. But my guess is that if I can solve this problem the other similar elements will resolve too. Still, if appears relevant I can describe more details. All of the servers and mid-tiers are running v8.1.01 Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions on how to fix this? I haven't gone as far as uninstalling/reinstalling the mid-tier or tomcat yet, do anyone think this will help?
