**ACL:** Defines access to each of Medulla’s features based on the profile of the logged-in user.  
ACLs evolve with each Medulla release as features are added

**Profile:** Defined in the ITSM tool and used to define a user’s permissions on an entity.  
Three profiles are defined: Super-Admin, Admin, and Technician

**Restriction: There is no** differentiation between profile/entity pairs in Medulla. If a user has different profiles across different entities, the most permissive profile will always be applied to all permitted entities.
