# Sentinel in Consul
|
|
|
|
Sentinel policies extend the ACL system in Consul beyond static "read", "write",
|
|
and "deny" policies to support full conditional logic and integration with
|
|
external systems. [Learn more about Sentinel here.](https://docs.hashicorp.com/sentinel/concepts/).
|
|
|
|
To get started with Sentinel in Consul,
|
|
[read the general documentation](https://docs.hashicorp.com/sentinel/consul/) or
|
|
[Consul documentation](/docs/agent/sentinel.html).
