Description
Describe the bug
The current permission system is too simplistic and doesn't support the fine-grained access control needed for complex organizational structures. It has a flat permission model that can't accommodate hierarchical inheritance or context-sensitive permissions required for the Advanced Association Management MVP.
Steps to Reproduce
- Attempt to create a permission that applies only to a specific organizational unit
- Try to define roles with graduated permissions across resource types
- Attempt to inherit permissions from a parent organization to a child
- Observe that the current permission system doesn't support these scenarios
Expected behavior
The permission system should support hierarchical roles, fine-grained access controls, and context-sensitive permissions that can be applied at different levels of the organization hierarchy.

Additional context
This architectural limitation requires addressing early in the MVP development to ensure proper security and access control. The redesigned permission system should:
- Support hierarchical inheritance of permissions
- Allow context-sensitive permissions (e.g., by resource type, category)
- Enable temporary permission assignments
- Provide efficient permission checking without performance bottlenecks
- Maintain comprehensive audit logs of permission changes
