Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for using inherited grants to grant privileges to objects in a container. An inherited grant may be generated that specifies a permission on a first type of object in a container and a grant of the permission to a role. The inherited grant may be attached to the container, wherein the container includes a set of objects of the first type. In response to a first object of the set of objects being referenced via the role, a virtual implied grant may be created based on the inherited grant. Authorization of utilization of the permission on the first object is performed using the virtual implied grant, wherein the virtual implied grant is transient and exists in-memory only for the purpose of authorizing the utilization of the permission on the first object.
