Why do permission changes take so long to apply now?
Administrative permissions like Full Access, Send as, and Send on behalf have massively slowed down, stretching sync times to nearly 40 minutes instead of a few minutes. This delay disrupts day-to-day management tasks and leaves administrators waiting indefinitely for access updates to take effect.
