The /acl/policy endpoints manage Consul's ACL Policies.

-> **1.4.0+:** The APIs are available in Consul versions 1.4.0 and later. The documentation for the legacy ACL API is [here](/api/acl/legacy.html)
# ACL Policy HTTP API
The `/acl/policy` endpoints [create](#create-a-policy), [read](#read-a-policy),
[update](#update-a-policy), [list](#list-policies) and [delete](#delete-a-policy) ACL policies in Consul.
For more information about ACLs, please see the [ACL Guide](/docs/guides/acl.html).

[consistency modes](/api/index.html#consistency-modes),
[agent caching](/api/index.html#agent-caching), and
[required ACLs](/api/index.html#acls).
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
| `NO` | `none` | `none` | `acl:write` |
