A target expression has three components:

Keyword
The keyword specifies the type of target element.
Expression
The expression specifies the items that are targeted by the access control rule.
Operator
The operator is either equal, =, or not-equal, !=.
Note:

You cannot use the != operator with the targattrfilters and targetscope keywords.

For specific examples of each target keyword, see Working with Targets.
