How to 'Clear all Cache' using Functional Administrator Responsibility

How can the 'Clear all Cache' be selected through the Functional Administrator responsibility to ensure newly changed profiles that pertain to iProcurement are now being considered?

Solution
Many times when setting profile options that pertain to iProcurement, to ensure that the new profile values are invoked immediately, the following actions can be taken using the Functional Administrator.

Examples that may require this action to be taken are as follows:
 -  iProcurement Preferences (these values actually are User level profile options)
 - FND Diagnostics - to enable diagnostics
 - FND Debug Log Enabled - which engages further debugging to FND_LOG_MESSAGES table
 - Personalize Self Service Defn - commonly used profile to enable the Personalization Links
 - Newly added responsibility is not visible in the list of Responsibilities after logging into the application

The following steps are to be utilized to clear all the cache, forcing a refresh and requery of all profile values for the user in question.
