Ok, I understand better now.  Why not use a groupOfUniqueNames object
for each module?  This is pretty much exactly what they are for, or do
you need to store additional information per user for each module they
have access to?

I don't know if the alias manages auto-deletion of the referred object, 
I'd be rather surprised if it does.  Anyone?
