ACL vs privileges
Hello genius..!
what do y'all think of these questions...? help appreciated...!

Access Control Lists and privileges....

# Why both file ACLs and user permissions/privileges (not to be confused with rights in ACLs) are used in Windows access control (why not just use one of these)?

# In Windows, is there any example of a capability/privilege used in access control ? and what its effect is ???

thanks for your valuable time....!
cheers!!!! Smilie
