Flush permissions using api

I’m using the code below to add a user to a specific user group (which may or not be the best way of doing it...). This happens whilst the user is logged in. However, the new permissions don’t take effect until I flush sessions through the manager. Can I do that using the api? i.e. After the code below successfully completes, can I do something like $modx->flushMySessionDataButDontLogMeOut()?? (I have been rtfm-ing for longer that I care to add up btw...)

Code to add the user to the user group:
```
$assign = $this->modx->newObject('modUserGroupMember');
	  $data = array('user_group'=>$groupid,'member'=>$userid,'role'=>1);
	  $assign->fromArray($data);
	  $assign->save();
```
Thanks in advance

The Flush permissions menu item executes this JS code:
```
MODx.msg.confirm({
    title: _('flush_access')
    ,text: _('flush_access_confirm')
    ,url: MODx.config.connectors_url+'security/access/index.php'
    ,params: {
        action: 'flush'
    }
    ,listeners: {
        'success': {fn:function() { location.href = './'; },scope:this}
    }
});
```
That might get you started.
