eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML): A declarative access control policy language implemented in XML and a processing model that defines how access control decisions are evaluated from the policy. It enables fine-grained control of authorized activities, providing the ability to manage more detailed restrictions than traditional access control lists (ACLs).
