Title:
  Changes in openstack_dashboard/conf/*policy.json won't take effect for
  Panel visibility until User re-logins

Status in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon):
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Panel class is a subclass of HorizonComponent class, which should
  check `self.policy_rules` while determining whether the entity is
  visible or not. Unfortunately the actual values `self.policy_rules`
  relies upon are being loaded during first request to Horizon, also the
  final result of checking whether Panel is visible or not will be
  cached in user session.

  Speaking of concrete example, for Identity -> Users panel
  https://github.com/openstack/horizon/blob/2014.2.rc1/openstack_dashboard/dashboards/identity/users/panel.py#L29
  you can check it yourself by changing both rules in
  https://github.com/openstack/horizon/blob/2014.2.rc1/openstack_dashboard/conf/keystone_policy.json#L43
  to "!" and see that the panel is still visible - until you _both_
  reload Horizon and re-login to clear session. After that it will be
  hidden.

  While reloading Horizon is fine - because changing kind of server
  settings is involved, the need to sign-out and the sign-in for the
  visibility changes to take effect is not.
