# Consul ACL Auth Methods
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul acl auth-method`
|
|
|
|
The `acl auth-method` command is used to manage Consul's ACL auth methods.
|
|
It exposes commands for creating, updating, reading, deleting, and listing auth methods.
|
|
This command is available in Consul 1.5.0 and newer.
|
|
|
|
ACL auth methods may also be managed via the [HTTP API](/consul/api-docs/acl/auth-methods).
|
|
|
|
-> **Note:** All of the example subcommands in this document will require a valid
|
|
Consul token with the appropriate permissions. Either set the
|
|
`CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN` environment variable to the token's secret ID or pass the
|
|
secret ID as the value of the `-token` parameter.
|
|
|
|
