NOTE: This feature requires Consul Enterprise.
The consul.NamespacePolicyAttachment resource links a Consul Namespace and an ACL
policy. The link is implemented through an update to the Consul Namespace.
NOTE: This resource is only useful to attach policies to a namespace that has been created outside the current Terraform configuration, like the
defaultnamespace. If the namespace 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 thepolicyDefaultsattribute ofconsul.Namespace.
Example Usage
Attach a policy to the default namespace
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.NamespacePolicyAttachment("attachment", {
namespace: "default",
policy: agent.name,
});
import pulumi
import pulumi_consul as consul
agent = consul.AclPolicy("agent",
name="agent",
rules="""node_prefix \"\" {
policy = \"read\"
}
""")
attachment = consul.NamespacePolicyAttachment("attachment",
namespace="default",
policy=agent.name)

NOTE: consulAclNamespace would attempt to enforce an empty set of default
policies, because its policyDefaults 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 namespace.

NamespacePolicyAttachment Resource Properties
To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.
Inputs
In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.
The NamespacePolicyAttachment resource accepts the following input properties:
Outputs
All input properties are implicitly available as output properties. Additionally, the NamespacePolicyAttachment resource produces the following output properties:
- Id string
- The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
- Id string
- The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
- id String
- The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
- id string
- The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
- id str
- The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
- id String
- The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
Look up Existing NamespacePolicyAttachment Resource
Get an existing NamespacePolicyAttachment resource’s state with the given name, ID, and optional extra properties used to qualify the lookup.

Import
consul.NamespacePolicyAttachment can be imported. This is especially useful
to manage the policies attached to the default namespace:
$ pulumi import consul:index/namespacePolicyAttachment:NamespacePolicyAttachment default default:policy_name
