meteor client minimongo retains subscribed collection info after logout. newly-logged-in-user sees old data

Question

I'm using a publish to limit which data a user sees in their report

Meteor.publish("companyReport", function(){
if(!this.userId) return null;
var user = Meteor.users.findOne(this.userId);
var userCompany = user.profile.company;
var userRole = user.roles;
var userName = user.username;

if(function(){Roles.userIsInRole(Meteor.user(), ['chiefs']);})
{return ReportCollection.find({companyName:userCompany});}

else if (function(){Roles.userIsInRole(Meteor.user(), ['managers']);})
{return ReportCollection.find({companyName:userCompany, managerName:userName});}

else
{return null;}
});

Now, on the client side i can simply subscribe. It's generally working fine,except:

I noticed the following odd behaviour i don't want: if i am logged-in as a "chiefs" role user, and can see a company-wide report, if i logout and then login as a "managers" user, i can still see the data i am not supposedly allowed to see.

i know that my publications control mechanism is working ok, as when i login as a manager from another browser, i see the correct results (more limited)

i can only conclude that minimongo on the client is keeping the collection data from the old subscription as a "chiefs" user.
is this correct? if so, how do i flush this data upon logout? or? what do people usually do to avoid this?

thanks

You probably do need to flush this data on logout, which will involve saving the subscription handle and then stopping it:

// when you subscribe
var reportHandle = Meteor.subscribe('companyReport');
// then when you want to log out
reportHandle.stop();
Meteor.logout();

UPDATE

If I understand your question, you want to make sure you're only ever flushing the minimongo when the user actually logs out:

Meteor.logout(function(err) {
    if (err)
        console.log(err);
    else 
        reportHandle.stop();
});

ANOTHER UPDATE

Ah, now I see what you're asking. It depends on the package, as there's no onLogout event listener you can use for this. You can probably monkey-patch something quite easily, but I'm not sufficiently familiar with accounts-ui-bootstrap to say for sure.
