What resources mean in ACL in zend framework

I want to know what is resouces in ACL, is it module, controller in a module or action in controller in module.

In the documentation, resoiurces (newsletter, news,latest) and others are not clear what they are.

Also in this example the resources are not clear!!!

[mainMenu]
login          = Everyone
applications   = Everyone
preferences    = User
administration = Implementor

[userPreferences]
details = User
params  = User
themes  = User

For example

new Zend_Acl_Resource('someResource')

Denotes that someResource points to an PHP module/section, which is suppose to be accessible but, it has be controlled so that only authorized roles can access it.

Resource is simply something you want to limit access to. It could be a page, a record in your DB or whatever your application needs.

I wrote a three-part series on Zend_Acl, in which I talk about what resources are amongst other things: http://codeutopia.net/blog/2009/02/06/zend_acl-part-1-misconceptions-and-simple-acls/
