What is dacl and sacl?

DACL (Discretionary Access Control List) and SACL (System Access Control List) are components of an access control model in Windows operating systems. DACL specifies the permissions that users or groups have on an object, determining who can access or modify it. In contrast, SACL is used for auditing purposes, defining which actions on an object should be logged in the security logs to track access attempts. Together, they help manage security and compliance within a system.
