Explanation

In Cisco NX-OS, when an administrator modifies a user's account attributes (such as roles or permissions), those changes only apply to new sessions the user creates after the modification. Existing active sessions continue to operate under the original attributes that were loaded when the session was established - the session state is essentially "snapshotted" at login time.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (immediately): NX-OS does not push attribute changes into live sessions; the running session context is not dynamically updated.
• B (at scheduled time): NX-OS has no built-in mechanism to schedule attribute changes to take effect at a future time.
• C (when the user logs out): Logging out ends the session; it does not cause changes to be applied retroactively - the next login creates a new session with the new attributes.

Memory tip: Think of a session like a badge printed at the door - it reflects your access at the moment you entered. To get a new badge with updated access, you must leave and re-enter (create a new session).
