Consul uses Access Control Lists (ACLs) to secure the UI, API, CLI, service communications, and agent communications. At the core, ACLs operate by grouping rules into policies, then associating one or more policies with a token.

### ACL System
Consul provides an optional Access Control List (ACL) system which can be used to control access to data and APIs. The ACL system is a Capability-based system that relies on tokens which can have fine grained rules applied to them. The [ACL System documentation] details the functionality of Consul ACLs.
### ACL Rules

### Securing Consul with ACLs
The _Bootstrapping the ACL System_ guide walks you through how to set up ACLs on a single datacenter. Because it introduces the basic concepts and syntax we recommend completing it before starting this guide. This guide builds on the first guide with recommendations for production workloads on a single datacenter.
