# ACL Role HTTP API
-> **1.5.0+:** The role APIs are available in Consul versions 1.5.0 and newer.
The `/acl/role` endpoints [create](#create-a-role), [read](#read-a-role),
[update](#update-a-role), [list](#list-roles) and [delete](#delete-a-role) ACL roles in Consul.
For more information on how to setup ACLs, please check
the [ACL tutorial](https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/consul/access-control-setup-production).
## Create a Role
This endpoint creates a new ACL role.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ----------- | ------------------ |
| `PUT` | `/acl/role` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking),
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency),
[agent caching](/api/features/caching), and
[required ACLs](/api#authentication).
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
| `NO` | `none` | `none` | `acl:write` |
The corresponding CLI command is [`consul acl role create`](/commands/acl/role/create).
### Parameters
- `Name` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies a name for the ACL role. The name
can contain alphanumeric characters, dashes `-`, and underscores `_`.
This name must be unique.
- `Description` `(string: "")` - Free form human readable description of the role.
- `Policies` `(array<PolicyLink>)` - The list of policies that should be
applied to the role. A PolicyLink is an object with an "ID" and/or "Name"
field to specify a policy. With the PolicyLink, roles can be linked to
policies either by the policy name or by the policy ID. When policies are
linked by name they will be internally resolved to the policy ID. With
linking roles internally by IDs, Consul enables policy renaming without
breaking tokens.
- `ServiceIdentities` `(array<ServiceIdentity>)` - The list of [service
identities](/docs/security/acl/acl-system#acl-service-identities) that should be
applied to the role. Added in Consul 1.5.0.
- `ServiceName` `(string: <required>)` - The name of the service. The name
must be no longer than 256 characters, must start and end with a lowercase
alphanumeric character, and can only contain lowercase alphanumeric
characters as well as `-` and `_`.
- `Datacenters` `(array<string>)` - Specifies the datacenters the effective
policy is valid within. When no datacenters are provided the effective
policy is valid in all datacenters including those which do not yet exist
but may in the future.
- `NodeIdentities` `(array<NodeIdentity>)` - The list of [node
identities](/docs/security/acl/acl-system#acl-node-identities) that should be
applied to the role. Added in Consul 1.8.1.
- `NodeName` `(string: <required>)` - The name of the node. The name
must be no longer than 256 characters, must start and end with a lowercase
alphanumeric character, and can only contain lowercase alphanumeric
characters as well as `-` and `_`.
- `Datacenter` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the nodes datacenter. This
will result in effective policy only being valid in that datacenter.
- `Namespace` `(string: "")` <EnterpriseAlert inline /> - Specifies the namespace to
create the role. If not provided in the JSON body, the value of
the `ns` URL query parameter or in the `X-Consul-Namespace` header will be used.
If not provided, the namespace will be inherited from the request's ACL
token or will default to the `default` namespace. Added in Consul 1.7.0.
