There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

Beyond simple RBAC user management, which GraphDB fully supports, you may need to make sure users have some specific permissions. Or, there may even be a requirement that your data is compartmentalized so one attack only compromises some of your data. You can achieve logical and physical separation, but you should do this without nested repositories.
