• In Active Directory, a capability that enables a higher administrative authority to grant specific administrative rights to perform specific administrative tasks (usually on specific subjects) to individuals and groups. This eliminates the need for domain administrators with sweeping authority over large segments of the user population. Access control entries (ACEs) can grant specific administrative rights on the objects in a container to a user or group. Rights are granted for specific operations on specific object classes via ACEs in the container's Access Control List (ACL). See also: Access Control Entity (ACE), Access Control List (ACL)
