SUMMARY
This white paper describes the process by which Exchange 2000 uses permissions to control access to objects in the Exchange 2000 store (public folder databases and mailbox databases). Because of the way Exchange 2000 data can be distributed around an Exchange 2000 deployment, and because of efforts to maintain backward compatibility with previous versions of Exchange Server, access control in Exchange 2000 is not straightforward.



Intended Audience
This white paper is intended for advanced Exchange 2000 administrators. This document provides a high-level explanation of the process by which Exchange 2000 controls access to objects in the Exchange 2000 store.

To understand this white paper, make sure that you are familiar with the following terms:
 * Access control entry (ACE)
 * Access control list (ACL)
 * Access token
 * Discretionary access control list (DACL)
 * Permission (permissions are frequently called rights)
 * Security descriptor
 * Security ID (SID)
 * Security principal
 * System access control list (SACL)

NOTE: For your convenience, these terms are defined in Appendix A, &quot;Access Control Terminology.&quot;
