ACE: Access Control Entry
Access Control Entry (ACE) describes access rights associated with a particular SID. The access control entry is evaluated by the operating system in order to compute the effective access granted to a particular program based upon its credentials. For example, when a user logs on to the computer, and then executes a program, the program uses the credentials associated with that particular user's account. |
