Explanation

An Access Control List (ACL) is a list of rules that specifies which users or systems are granted or denied access (i.e., have permission to access) to a particular object or system resource (see ISC2 Study Guide, chapter 3, module 4). Each rule in the ACL specifies the permissions, such as read, write, or execute, that a subject has over an object. For instance, in a file system, an ACL might include a rule that grants read and write access to a specific user for a particular file. This rule determines the permissions that the user has for that file. The subject is a user or a process run by a user, which inherits the user authorization. The object is the resource or data in the system (or the network) to be accessed. Firmware is a type of software embedded in a hardware system; therefore, the concept of an Access Control List does not directly apply to it.
