# Access Control List

Reference: https://docs.konghq.com/hub/kong-inc/acl/

# Use Cases

Typically this is used when your Environment configuration uses the flow kong-api-key-acl or kong-acl-only where the allow group is a special group defined for the Environment so that Access Managers can grant/revoke access to the Service from the API Services Portal.

# Example

services:
- name: MY_REST_API
  tags: [ _NS_ ]
  plugins:
  - name: acl
    tags: [ _NS_ ]
    config:
      allow:
      - pir-dev
      deny: null
