I can't tell you your best solution.  But you could, for example, map paths to 
authz groups.  Then you update your ACLs by amending group memberships.

If you already knew that and thought it should be obvious, then the answer
is no, there's nothing builtin that'll help.  Unless your access maps to filesystem
access and can be driven by file ownership.
