# Consul Intention Create
Command: `consul intention create`
The `intention create` command creates or updates an intention.
## Usage
Usage: `consul intention create [options] SRC DST`
Usage: `consul intention create [options] -f FILE...`
`SRC` and `DST` can both take [several forms](/docs/commands/intention#source-and-destination-naming).
#### API Options
@include 'http_api_options_client.mdx'
#### Enterprise Options
@include 'http_api_namespace_options.mdx'
#### Intention Create Options
- `-allow` - Set the action to "allow" for intentions. This is the default.
- `-deny` - Set the action to "deny" for intentions. This cannot be specified
with `-allow`.
- `-file` - Read intention data one or more files specified by the command
line arguments, instead of source/destination pairs.
- `-meta key=value` - Specify arbitrary KV metadata to associate with the
intention.
- `-replace` - Replace any matching intention. The replacement is done
atomically per intention.
## Examples
Create an intention `web => db`:
```shell-session
$ consul intention create web db
```
Create intentions from a set of files:
```shell-session
$ consul intention create -file one.json two.json
```
Create intentions from a directory using shell expansion:
```shell-session
$ consul intention create -file intentions/*.json
```
