Admin privileges require server restart for reset

[cecilia-donnelly]

When I change an admin privilege level in the database, I have to restart the server before the change takes effect and I see a change in the responses I get to my API calls.

For example, say I have a user with all permissions like so:

| userId | externalID         | canRead | canWrite | canAdmin | dateCreated | dateUpdated |
+--------+----------------------------------+---------+----------+----------+-------------+
|      5 | user@example.com   |       1 |        1 |        1 | 2016-05-10  | 2016-05-10  |

When I make a GET request to the /clients endpoint, I receive all the clients, as expected. Then I run:

mysql> update TMP_USER set canRead=0;

When I make that GET request again, I should receive ACCESS_DENIED, but instead I get the full list of clients.

If I run: $ sudo service tomcat7 restart

...and then make the GET request, I get

{
  "error": {
    "errors": [
      {
        "code": "ACCESS_DENIED",
        "message": "You are not allowed to access this content."
      }
    ],
    "code": "ACCESS_DENIED",
    "message": "You are not allowed to access this content."
  }
}

as expected. Probably Hibernate is doing some caching, as I briefly discussed with @kfogel and @slifty in IRC earlier today.
