It will be a bit of work yes.

Back then we did not have such a method unfortunately.
I think we already had the "cache_perm" option that would reload the 
permissions on every request. But that is not an ideal situation.

You could do something somewhat ugly to reload the data in the 
permission container though. You could call

$LU->_perm->mapUser($LU->_auth->getProperty('authUserId'), 
$LU->_auth->backendArrayIndex);
