Consul ACL Policy Update
Command: consul acl policy update
Corresponding HTTP API Endpoint: [PUT] /v1/acl/policy/:id
The acl policy update
command is used to update a policy. The default operations is to merge the current policy
with those values provided to the command invocation. Therefore to update just one field, only
the -id
or -name
options and the option to modify must be provided. Note that renaming
policies requires both the -id
and -name
as the new name cannot yet be used to lookup the
policy.
The table below shows this command's required ACLs. Configuration of blocking queries and agent caching are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint.
