Data stored in security namespaces are used to determine whether an user has permissions to perform a specific action on a specific resource.

Typically, each family of resources (work items, Git repositories, etc.) is secured using a different namespace. Each security namespace contains zero or more access control lists. Each access control list contains a token, an inherit flag and a set of zero or more access control entries. Each access control entry contains an identity descriptor, an allowed permissions bitmask and an denied permissions bitmask.
