# Consul ACL Policies
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul acl policy`
|
|
|
|
The `acl policy` command is used to manage Consul's ACL policies.
|
|
It exposes commands for creating, updating, reading, deleting, and listing policies.
|
|
This command is available in Consul 1.4.0 and newer.
|
|
|
|
ACL policies may also be managed via the [HTTP API](/api/acl/policies.html).
|
|
|
|
-> **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.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Usage: `consul acl policy <subcommand>`
|
|
|
|
For the exact documentation for your Consul version, run `consul acl
|
|
policy -h` to view the complete list of subcommands.

|
|
|
## Identifying Policies
|
|
|
|
Several of the subcommands need to operate on a specific policy. Those
|
|
subcommands support specifying the policy by its ID using the `-id` parameter
|
|
or by name using the `-name` parameter.
|
|
|
|
When specifying the policy by its ID a unique policy ID prefix may be specified
|
|
instead of the entire UUID. As long as it is unique it will be resolved to the
|
|
full UUID and used. Additionally builtin policy names will be accepted as the
|
|
value to the `-id` parameter. Even if the builtin policies are renamed their
|
|
original name can be used to operate on them.
|
|
|
|
Builtin policies:
|
|
|
|
| Policy UUID | Policy Name |
