I would make it an option;  if you are making multiple changes to
the local roles, for instance, it would make sense only to reindex
all the content one time.

A snippet which might help, to be added to the 'folder_localroles_edit'
script::

    for brain in context.portal_catalog.searchResults(
        path=context.getPhysicalPath() ):

        brain.getObject().reindex_object()
