# ACL Role HTTP API
|
|
|
|
-> **1.5.0+:** The role APIs are available in Consul versions 1.5.0 and newer.
|
|
|
|
The `/acl/role` endpoints [create](#create-a-role), [read](#read-a-role),
|
|
[update](#update-a-role), [list](#list-roles) and [delete](#delete-a-role) ACL roles in Consul.
|
|
|
|
For more information on how to setup ACLs, please check
|
|
the [ACL tutorial](https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/consul/access-control-setup-production).
|
|
|
|
## Create a Role
|
|
|
|
This endpoint creates a new ACL role.
|
|
|
|
| Method | Path | Produces |
|
|
| ------ | ----------- | ------------------ |
|
|
| `PUT` | `/acl/role` | `application/json` |
|
|
|
|
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
|
|
[blocking queries](/api-docs/features/blocking),
|
|
[consistency modes](/api-docs/features/consistency),
|
|
[agent caching](/api-docs/features/caching), and
|
|
[required ACLs](/api#authentication).
|
|
|
|
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
|
|
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
|
|
| `NO` | `none` | `none` | `acl:write` |
|
|
|
|
The corresponding CLI command is [`consul acl role create`](/commands/acl/role/create).
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
- `Name` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies a name for the ACL role. The name
|
|
can contain alphanumeric characters, dashes `-`, and underscores `_`.
|
|
This name must be unique.
|
|
- `Description` `(string: "")` - Free form human readable description of the role.
|
|
|
|
- `Policies` `(array<PolicyLink>)` - The list of policies that should be
|
|
applied to the role. A PolicyLink is an object with an "ID" and/or "Name"
|
|
field to specify a policy. With the PolicyLink, roles can be linked to
|
|
policies either by the policy name or by the policy ID. When policies are
|
|
linked by name they will be internally resolved to the policy ID. With
|
|
linking roles internally by IDs, Consul enables policy renaming without
|
|
breaking tokens.
|
|
|
|
- `ServiceIdentities` `(array<ServiceIdentity>)` - The list of [service
|
|
identities](/docs/security/acl/acl-system#acl-service-identities) that should be
|
|
applied to the role. Added in Consul 1.5.0.
|
|
|
|
- `ServiceName` `(string: <required>)` - The name of the service. The name
|
|
must be no longer than 256 characters, must start and end with a lowercase
|
|
alphanumeric character, and can only contain lowercase alphanumeric
|
|
characters as well as `-` and `_`.
|
|
|
|
- `Datacenters` `(array<string>)` - Specifies the datacenters the effective
|
|
policy is valid within. When no datacenters are provided the effective
|
|
policy is valid in all datacenters including those which do not yet exist
|
|
but may in the future.
|
|
|
|
- `NodeIdentities` `(array<NodeIdentity>)` - The list of [node
|
|
identities](/docs/security/acl/acl-system#acl-node-identities) that should be
|
|
applied to the role. Added in Consul 1.8.1.
|
|
|
|
- `NodeName` `(string: <required>)` - The name of the node. The name
|
|
must be no longer than 256 characters, must start and end with a lowercase
|
|
alphanumeric character, and can only contain lowercase alphanumeric
|
|
characters as well as `-` and `_`.
|
|
|
|
- `Datacenter` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the nodes datacenter. This
|
|
will result in effective policy only being valid in that datacenter.
|
|
|
|
- `Namespace` `(string: "")` <EnterpriseAlert inline /> - Specifies the namespace to
|
|
create the role. If not provided in the JSON body, the value of
|
|
the `ns` URL query parameter or in the `X-Consul-Namespace` header will be used.
|
|
If not provided, the namespace will be inherited from the request's ACL
|
|
token or will default to the `default` namespace. Added in Consul 1.7.0.
