Description

For remote (changes made external to console) role changes this might be a stretch. There may be multiple ways that the users entities, used for showing roles, may be updated. Whenever these change their roles and thus permission may change. Worst case we have UX enabled/disabled when users table shows role which provides opposite permissions and a full page refresh is needed. Medium case we tie in a refresh of permissions on clicking the refresh on the users table. Best case we update permissions when we spot a change (a lot of work for little return)

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by tracing how remote role changes update the users entities and how the users-table refresh handles permissions. Compare the proposed full-page, table-refresh, and change-detection paths, and define done as permissions matching displayed roles without a full-page refresh.
