In one embodiment, a method for persistent data authorization includes receiving a query at a management device and identifying authorization constraints at the management device utilizing an authorization model. The authorization model includes at least one group hierarchy defining authorization based on a relationship between levels in the hierarchy. The query is modified based on the authorization constraints and the modified query is sent to the database. Data is received in response to the modified query and is configured for transmission from the management device without further filtering. The query received at the management device and the modified query are both configured for communication directly with the database with no modification to the database required for the modified query. A system and apparatus for persistent data authorization are also disclosed.
