How can an attacker maintain domain persistence by adding DCSync rights to a regular user?

An attacker with Domain Admin or Enterprise Admin privileges can add three specific ACEs (DS-Replication-Get-Changes, DS-Replication-Get-Changes-All, and another replication GUID) to a regular user's ACL. This grants the user DCSync rights, allowing them to export all domain hashes and persist as a 'Shadow Admin'.
