#### List Policy for Keys
Consul 1.0 introduces a new `list` policy for keys that is only enforced when opted in via the boolean config param "acl_enable_key_list_policy".
`list` controls access to recursively list entries and keys, and enables more fine grained policies. With "acl_enable_key_list_policy",
recursive reads via [the KV API](/api/kv.html#recurse) with an invalid token result in a 403. Example:
```text
key "" {
policy = "deny"
}
key "bar" {
policy = "list"
}
key "baz" {
policy = "read"
}
```
In the example above, the rules allow reading the key "baz", and only allow recursive reads on the prefix "bar".
A token with `write` access on a prefix also has `list` access. A token with `list` access on a prefix also has `read` access on all its suffixes.
#### Sentinel Integration
Consul Enterprise supports additional optional fields for key write policies for
[Sentinel](https://docs.hashicorp.com/sentinel/app/consul/) integration. An example key rule with a
Sentinel code policy looks like this:
