I'd like to add that HDFS has had ACLs + RBAC + global IP white/black list for years now.
We did not notice any customers confusing the features. I've seen customers use each feature for different purposes. Actually, the only system I am aware of that integrated IP access controls together with RBAC and ACLs is MySQL, where it leads to major confusion among new admins (I can log in as "gwenshap" from a remote machine but not from localhost or vice-versa...).
