Description

### Where is the problem?

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

### What happened?

We need to add this as a note for the plugin.

The ACL plugin will not work correctly for a service where the application registration plugin is already enabled. Either the application registration plugin should be enabled or the ACL plugin should be enabled.

### What did you expect to happen?

If you enable ACL plugin on a service where application registration plugin is already enabled then the consumer will not be able to access the resources even though they have been granted access. This is because application registration plugin will block them.
