Users, permissions, and multi-tenancy

Every dataset belongs to an owner, and every operation on it is checked against a grant: a principal (user, role, or tenant) holding a permission (read, write, delete, share) on a dataset. With access control on (the default), each user+dataset pair also gets its own graph and vector databases.
