Ah yes, you need an oracle for 'scopes applicable to user X'. Uhm.
So its fine not to do that, but here is how I would tackle it to avoid
those issues (and this makes the amount of work visible ):
- setup a single feature controller without a request attached to it.
- teach the controller how to discard its cached value for a flag
- add to it a custom handler for 'inTeam:' (spelling?) - this handler
would change the inteam lookup from 'user in team' to 'get all the
members of the team named and do an in-python set lookup'
- after checking the flag do 'controller.
