access control list

English

Noun

access control list (plural access control lists)

1. (computing) A security scheme for file-level security (as opposed to traditional user, group levels, or the somewhat stricter role levels). Abbreviated ACL.

   The hackers broke through the B security model, so no more role-level security: all critical data must use access control lists from now on.
