Consul ACLs

Command: consul acl

The acl command is used to interact with Consul's ACLs via the command line. It exposes top-level commands for bootstrapping the ACL system, managing tokens and policies, translating legacy rules, and setting the tokens for use by an agent.

ACLs are also accessible via the HTTP API.
