Model access permissions in a graph database and migrate to it

0
UberSystem designLast asked Jul 2026

Design how to store which users can access which resources in a graph database, and how to answer access questions from it. The data lives in an existing database today, so the design must also move it over.

Cover the graph schema, how access checks run as graph queries, and how you migrate from the current store without serving wrong answers during the move.
