The /acl/token endpoints manage Consul's ACL Tokens.
---
-> **1.4.0+:** The APIs are available in Consul versions 1.4.0 and later. The documentation for the legacy ACL API is [here](/api/acl/legacy.html)
# ACL Token HTTP API
The `/acl/token` endpoints [create](#create-a-token), [read](#read-a-token),
[update](#update-a-token), [list](#list-tokens), [clone](#clone-a-token) and [delete](#delete-a-token) ACL policies in Consul.
For more information on how to setup ACLs, please see
the [ACL Guide](https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/advanced/day-1-operations/production-acls).
## Create a Token
This endpoint creates a new ACL token.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `PUT` | `/acl/token` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking.html),
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency.html),
[agent caching](/api/features/caching.html), and
[required ACLs](/api/index.html#authentication).
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
| `NO` | `none` | `none` | `acl:write` |
### Parameters
- `AccessorID` `(string: "")` - Specifies a UUID to use as the token's Accessor ID.
If not specified a UUID will be generated for this field. Added in v1.5.0.
- `SecretID` `(string: "")` - Specifies a UUID to use as the token's Secret ID.
If not specified a UUID will be generated for this field. Added in v1.5.0.
**Note**: The SecretID is used to authorize operations against Consul and should
be generated from an appropriate cryptographic source.
- `Description` `(string: "")` - Free form human readable description of the token.
- `Policies` `(array<PolicyLink>)` - The list of policies that should be
applied to the token. A PolicyLink is an object with an "ID" and/or "Name"
field to specify a policy. With the PolicyLink, tokens 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 tokens internally by IDs, Consul enables policy renaming without
breaking tokens.
- `Roles` `(array<RoleLink>)` - The list of roles that should be applied to the
token. A RoleLink is an object with an "ID" and/or "Name" field to specify a
role. With the RoleLink, tokens can be linked to roles either by the role
name or by the role ID. When roles are linked by name they will be internally
resolved to the role ID. With linking tokens internally by IDs, Consul
enables role renaming without breaking tokens. Added in Consul 1.5.0.
- `ServiceIdentities` `(array<ServiceIdentity>)` - The list of [service
identities](/docs/acl/acl-system.html#acl-service-identities) that should be
applied to the token. 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.
- `Local` `(bool: false)` - If true, indicates that the token should not be
replicated globally and instead be local to the current datacenter.
- `ExpirationTime` `(time: "")`- If set this represents the point after which a
token should be considered revoked and is eligible for destruction. The
default unset value represents NO expiration. This value must be between 1
minute and 24 hours in the future. Added in Consul 1.5.0.
- `ExpirationTTL` `(duration: 0s)` - This is a convenience field and if set
will initialize the `ExpirationTime` field to a value of `CreateTime +
ExpirationTTL`. This field is not persisted beyond its initial use. Can be
specified in the form of `"60s"` or `"5m"` (i.e., 60 seconds or 5 minutes,
respectively). This value must be no smaller than 1 minute and no longer than
24 hours. Added in Consul 1.5.0.
- `Namespace` `(string: "")` - **(Enterprise Only)** Specifies the namespace to
create the token. 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 at all, the namespace will be inherited from the request's ACL
token or will default to the `default` namespace. Added in Consul 1.7.0.

## Read a Token
This endpoint reads an ACL token with the given Accessor ID.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `GET` | `/acl/token/:AccessorID` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking.html),
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency.html),
[agent caching](/api/features/caching.html), and
[required ACLs](/api/index.html#authentication).
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
| `YES` | `all` | `none` | `acl:read` |
### Parameters
- `AccessorID` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the accessor ID of the ACL token to
read. This is required and is specified as part of the URL path.
- `ns` `(string: "")` - **(Enterprise Only)** Specifies the namespace to lookup
the token. This value can be specified as the `ns` URL query
parameter or the `X-Consul-Namespace` header. If not provided by either,
the namespace will be inherited from the request's ACL token or will default
to the `default` namespace. Added in Consul 1.7.0.
### Sample Request
```sh
$ curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/acl/token/6a1253d2-1785-24fd-91c2-f8e78c745511
```
### Sample Response
-> **Note** If the token used for accessing the API has `acl:write` permissions,
then the `SecretID` will contain the tokens real value. Only when accessed with
a token with only `acl:read` permissions will the `SecretID` be redacted. This
is to prevent privilege escalation whereby having `acl:read` privileges allows
for reading other secrets which given even more permissions.
```json
{
"AccessorID": "6a1253d2-1785-24fd-91c2-f8e78c745511",
"SecretID": "<hidden>",
"Description": "Agent token for 'node1'",
"Policies": [
{
"ID": "165d4317-e379-f732-ce70-86278c4558f7",
"Name": "node1-write"
},
{
"ID": "e359bd81-baca-903e-7e64-1ccd9fdc78f5",

"CreateIndex": 59,
"ModifyIndex": 59
}
```
## Read Self Token
This endpoint returns the ACL token details that matches the secret ID
specified with the `X-Consul-Token` header or the `token` query parameter.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `GET` | `/acl/token/self` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking.html),
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency.html),

in both places then they must match exactly. This field is immutable. If not present in
the body and only in the URL then it will be filled in by Consul.
- `SecretID` `(string: "")` - Specifies the secret ID of the token being updated. This field is
immutable so if present in the body then it must match the existing value. If not present
then the value will be filled in by Consul.
- `Description` `(string: "")` - Free form human readable description of this token.
- `Policies` `(array<PolicyLink>)` - This is the list of policies that should
be applied to this token. A PolicyLink is an object with an "ID" and/or
"Name" field to specify a policy. With the PolicyLink tokens can be linked to policies

resolved to the role ID. With linking tokens internally by IDs, Consul
enables role renaming without breaking tokens.
- `ServiceIdentities` `(array<ServiceIdentity>)` - The list of [service
identities](/docs/acl/acl-system.html#acl-service-identities) that should be
applied to the token. 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 `_`.

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.
- `Local` `(bool: false)` - If true, indicates that this token should not be
replicated globally and instead be local to the current datacenter. This
value must match the existing value or the request will return an error.
- `AuthMethod` `(string: "")` - Specifies the name of the auth method that
created this token. This field is immutable so if present in the body then it
must match the existing value. If not present then the value will be filled
in by Consul.
- `ExpirationTime` `(time: "")` - Specifies the expiration time for the token
being updated. This field is immutable so if present in the body then it must
match the existing value. If not present then the value will be filled in by
Consul.
- `Namespace` `(string: "")` - **(Enterprise Only)** Specifies the namespace of
the token to update. 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 at all, the namespace will be inherited from the request's ACL
token or will default to the `default` namespace. Added in Consul 1.7.0.
