token cannot be read from the [`primary_datacenter`](#primary_datacenter) or
leader node, the down policy is applied. In "allow" mode, all actions are permitted,
"deny" restricts all operations, and "extend-cache" allows any cached objects
to be used, ignoring their TTL values. If a non-cached ACL is used, "extend-cache"
acts like "deny". The value "async-cache" acts the same way as "extend-cache"
to be used, ignoring the expiry time of the cached entry. If the request uses an
ACL that is not in the cache, "extend-cache" falls back to the behaviour of
`default_policy`.
The value "async-cache" acts the same way as "extend-cache"
but performs updates asynchronously when ACL is present but its TTL is expired,
thus, if latency is bad between the primary and secondary datacenters, latency
of operations is not impacted.
