By security, I mean user permissions... ex: User A can't edit records beloning to User B, but Manager C can see them both, and Admin D can see everything.

Many of these "Simple" frameworks that transparently pass stuff to the client-side forgo roles, accounts and ownership hierarchies.

In Opa, you have too mechanisms that combined provide probably a very high level of security in this sense too: 1) Algebraic constructs, so that the typing system checks properties like permissions automatically 2) Client "guards", aka protected values that can't be transmitted to the client, which Opa checks automatically.
