 * When I need to change permissions or details of a given user the screen does 
   not refresh after I click “update user”. It stays on a ethernal loading state
   most times. Rarely it does update the info as I requested after 1 or 2 minutes
   waiting.
 * The same thing does not happened when the user is editing its own profile, only
   when me as admin try to do so.
 * Thanks.
