Talking to myself here...

I suppose a more scalable solution would involve developing a schema
of all your object classes, and defining possible user rights (or
attributes) in that schema. Then develop a way of keeping track of
users, and which groups the users belong to. (and which groups groups
belong to, ala group nesting). Then assign groups permissions to
objects.
