ACL policies

An ACL policy is the set of controls (permissions) that specifies the necessary conditions to do certain operations on that resource.

ACL policies are important components of the security policy that is established for the domain. ACL policies, like all policies, are used to stamp the set of security standards for an organization on the resources that are represented in their protected object spaces. An ACL policy provides the following controls:

• What operations can be done on an object or resource
• Who can do an operation

An ACL policy is made up of one or more entries that include user and group designations and their specific permissions.
