You can specify a node identity when configuring roles or linking tokens to policies. _Node_ commonly refers to a Consul agent, but a node can also be a physical server, cloud instance, virtual machine, or container.
You can specify a node identity when configuring roles or linking tokens to policies. _Node_ commonly refers to a Consul agent, but a node can also be a physical server, cloud instance, virtual machine, or container.
Node identities enable you to quickly construct policies for nodes, rather than manually creating identical polices for each node. They are used during the authorization process to automatically generate a policy for the node(s) specified. You can specify the token linked to the policy in the [`acl_tokens_agent`](/docs/agent/options#acl_tokens_agent) field when configuring the agent.
