# Consul ACL Bootstrap
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul acl bootstrap`
|
|
|
|
Corresponding HTTP API Endpoint: [\[PUT\] /v1/acl/bootstrap](/consul/api-docs/acl#bootstrap-acls)
|
|
|
|
The `acl bootstrap` command generates a new token with unlimited privileges to use
|
|
for management purposes and outputs the token's details. Optionally, you can provide a Secret ID to use instead of generating a completely new token. You can create this bootstrapping token only once and afterwards bootstrapping
|
|
will be disabled. If all tokens are lost and you need to bootstrap again you can follow the bootstrap
|
|
[reset procedure](https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/security-networking/acl-troubleshooting?utm_source=docs).
|
|
|
|
The table below shows this command's [required ACLs](/consul/api-docs/api-structure#authentication). Configuration of
|
|
[blocking queries](/consul/api-docs/features/blocking) and [agent caching](/consul/api-docs/features/caching)
|
|
are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint.
|
|
|
|
| ACL Required |
|
|
| ------------ |
|
|
| `none` |
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Usage: `consul acl bootstrap [options] [FILE]`
|
|
|
|
If a file is supplied (or `-` for standard input), the new token's Secret ID is read from the file.
|
|
Otherwise, Consul creates a new one.
