Description:

def add_ace(path, objectType, user, permission, acetype, propagation):
    r'''
    add an ace to an object

    path:  path to the object (i.e. c:\\temp\\file, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\KEY, etc)
    user: user to add
    permission:  permissions for the user
    acetype:  either allow/deny for each user/permission (ALLOW, DENY)
    propagation: how the ACE applies to children for Registry Keys and Directories(KEY, KEY&SUBKEYS, SUBKEYS)

    CLI Example:

    .. code-block:: bash

        allow domain\fakeuser full control on HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\somekey, propagate to this key and subkeys
            salt 'myminion' win_dacl.add_ace 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\somekey' 'Registry' 'domain\fakeuser' 'FULLCONTROL' 'ALLOW' 'KEY&SUBKEYS'
