That's pretty interesting. I've used something like that before. I've also done something similar to that, but more like a chmod. Your approach works pretty well for a smaller project where you're in control of every user. But for the sake of manageability, you need to abstract it by an extra layer. In your approach, you have to set every permission for every user. Where as in mine, you setup permissions and assign them into groups. Then you can simply set what group the user belongs to and they get all the inherited permissions.
