[Samba] Users groups are not synchronized with Samba

Currently I am using Samba with ACL control. My problem is that if I
add or remove users from a group, those changes are not reflected for
samba access until I restart the samba server.
Example of what I mean.
GroupA and GroupB....USER is part of no group.
Unix: I give GroupA full access to FOLDER
Windows: as USER I try and access FOLDER I get permission denied.
Unix: I add USER to GroupA
Windows: as USER I try and access FOLDER I get permission denied!!!!!
Unix: I restart Samba server
Windows: as USER I try and access FOLDER I get full access.
This is definitely not going to work for me. I created an web
application that gives me full control over samba and unix users so I
can manage user/group permissions for all files and directories in my
fileserver. If i have to restart the samba server every time I change
somebodies group this is going to be chaos where I work. Adding users
to files/folders works fine, its just when I add users to groups that
Samba doesn't recognize that users new group until I restart.
anyone have any idea how I can solve this issue? is this a Samba
parameter that I need to make sure Samba konws when users move around to
different groups?
Thanks
