Well, my thinking was that if you moved Perm OU down into the operation, then 
the app could use the Perm OU hierarchy to find relevant permissions

Parent Perm OU = myapp
 - Child Perm OU = myapp.1
 - Child Perm OU = myapp.2

perm obj name == Customer
perm op name == add
perm op ou == myapp.1

perm op name == update
perm op ou == myapp.2

So if I queried for all permissions that belong to Perm OU "myapp" (either 
directly or from a child OU), I would get the list of permissions relevant to 
"myapp". It would then allow delegation of Perm OU myapp.1 and myapp.2 to 
separate ARBAC roles.

Of course managing the Perm OU hierarchy and managing changes becomes 
challenging. Maybe it's worth thinking through the implications of making Perm 
OU multi-occuring on the Perm Op...

Perhaps.  Depends on the req’s I suppose.  Can you elaborate?
