# ACL System
Consul provides an optional Access Control List (ACL) system which can be used to control
access to data and APIs. The ACL system is an
[Object-Capability system](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-capability_model) that relies
access to data and APIs. The ACL system is a
[Capability-based system](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-based_security) that relies
on tokens which can have fine grained rules applied to them. It is very similar to
[AWS IAM](http://aws.amazon.com/iam/) in many ways.
