I use the groups and permissions mechanics extensively in my applications. They're useful for lots of stuff. Sharing can be as simple as giving permission for a record. I also use tags for the same purpose but they're better for stuff which will be changing based on properties of an entity instead of explicit permissions. I think there should be both. Note that RBAC is kind of a standard that people understand, and while you can implement it with tags it's not so straightforward and easy to understand in practice because tags tend to originate a kind of spaghetti that makes understanding how the system works murkier.
