+## ACL Variables
+
+You can configure Consul to use [ACL](https://www.consul.io/docs/internals/acl.html)'s.
+
+Below are some variables that you can use to set it up. See the [official documentation](https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/options.html#acl_datacenter) for their meaning.
+
+Variables available for use, not defined by default:
+```yml
+consul_acl_enforce_version_8: false
+consul_acl_datacenter: 'test'
+consul_acl_default_policy: 'allow'
+consul_acl_down_policy: 'allow'
+consul_acl_master_token: 'generated_uuid_here'
+consul_acl_token: 'generated_uuid_here'
+consul_acl_ttl: 30
+consul_atlas_acl_token: 'anonymous'
+```
