But I guess the point is, that we´re trying to not only make migration between containers easier by using the same interface, but also by using the same DB structure, so that you don´t even need to convert your permission database when you one day decide to use a more complex solution. The key to making less complex containers is to maintain the API, but provide less complexity by using less features than what the DB structure allows. To do that, we can work with default values for any operation (ie. user level ist always the same, etc.) and simplify the SQL queries (ie. they don´t check for implied rights, should provide a lot of speedup as well).
