In ZooKeeper, ACL (Access Control List) is used to control access rights to ZooKeeper nodes. Through ACL, it is possible to restrict which users or roles can perform operations on nodes, including reading, writing, creating, deleting, and more. ACL can help ensure the security and integrity of data, preventing unauthorized users from accessing and modifying node data. ACL is typically used in conjunction with authentication mechanisms to protect data in ZooKeeper.
