The consul.AclTokenPolicyAttachment resource links a Consul Token and an ACL
policy. The link is implemented through an update to the Consul ACL token.
NOTE: This resource is only useful to attach policies to an ACL token that has been created outside the current Terraform configuration, like the anonymous or the master token. If the token you need to attach a policy to has been created in the current Terraform configuration and will only be used in it, you should use the
policiesattribute ofconsul.AclToken.
Example Usage
Attach a policy to the anonymous token
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as consul from "@pulumi/consul";
const agent = new consul.AclPolicy("agent", {
name: "agent",
rules: `node_prefix \\"\\" {
policy = \\"read\\"
}
`,
});
const attachment = new consul.AclTokenPolicyAttachment("attachment", {
tokenId: "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002",
policy: agent.name,
});

attachment = consul.AclTokenPolicyAttachment("attachment",

policy=agent.name)

NOTE: consul.AclToken would attempt to enforce an empty set of policies, because its policies attribute is empty. For this reason it is necessary to add the lifecycle clause to prevent Terraform from attempting to empty the set of policies associated to the token.

Import
consul.AclTokenPolicyAttachment can be imported. This is especially useful to manage the
policies attached to the anonymous and the master tokens with Terraform:
$ pulumi import consul:index/aclTokenPolicyAttachment:AclTokenPolicyAttachment anonymous 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002:policy_name
$ pulumi import consul:index/aclTokenPolicyAttachment:AclTokenPolicyAttachment master-token 624d94ca-bc5c-f960-4e83-0a609cf588be:policy_name
