How would you deal with questions like "provide all content accessible to a user" in a system like this? Would you watch and replicate to your own database?

Do you get the ACL from Zanzibar to your data store using a watch?

I'm just confirming that replication is the best strategy and there's not some magic that I'm not aware of
