In Windows-based systems, an entry in an access control list containing the security identifier for a user or group and an access mask that specifies which operations by the user or group are allowed, denied, or audited. All objects in the Active Directory are protected by a security descriptor – the security descriptor contains an access control list which contains access control entries (ACEs) – these ACEs collectively specify the set of permissions that various security principals (users, groups, computers) have on that object.An entry in an object's discretionary access control list (DACL) that grants permissions to a user or group. An ACE is also an entry in an object's system access control list (SACL) that specifies the security events to be audited for a user or group.

This partition has several features such as the ability to host several instances of the same application and COM+ components on the same physical machine, but for the purposes of replication, this partition can be defined as a specific group of domain Controller IP addresses or DNS names. For example, WS03 automatically creates a forest-wide application partition for forest-wide DNS data so this information will be available on all domain controllers with the DNS role in the forest.
