# Consul ACL Policy Create
Command: `consul acl policy create`
The `acl policy create` command creates new policies. The policies rules can either be set explicitly or the
`-from-token` parameter may be used to load the rules from a legacy ACL token. When loading
the rules from an existing legacy ACL token, the rules get translated from the legacy syntax
to the new syntax.
Both the `-rules` and `-from-token` parameter values allow loading the value
from stdin, a file or the raw value. To use stdin pass `-` as the value.
To load the value from a file prefix the value with an `@`. Any other
values will be used directly.
-> **Deprecated:** The `-from-token` and `-token-secret` arguments exist only as a convenience
to make legacy ACL migration easier. These will be removed in a future major release when
support for the legacy ACL system is removed.
## Usage
Usage: `consul acl policy create [options] [args]`
#### API Options
<%= partial "docs/commands/http_api_options_client" %>
<%= partial "docs/commands/http_api_options_server" %>
#### Command Options
* `-description=<string>` - A description of the policy.
* `-from-token=<string>` - The legacy token to retrieve the rules for when creating this
policy. When this is specified no other rules should be given.
Similar to the -rules option the token to use can be loaded from
stdin or from a file.
* `-meta` - Indicates that policy metadata such as the content hash and raft
indices should be shown for each entry.
* `-name=<string>` - The new policy's name. This flag is required.
* `-rules=<string>` - The policy rules. May be prefixed with '@' to indicate that the
value is a file path to load the rules from. '-' may also be given
to indicate that the rules are available on stdin.
* `-token-secret` - Indicates the token provided with -from-token is a SecretID and not
an AccessorID.
* `-valid-datacenter=<value>` - Datacenter that the policy should be valid within.
This flag may be specified multiple times.
## Examples
Create a new policy that is valid in all datacenters:
```sh
$ consul acl policy create -name "acl-replication" -description "Policy capable of replicating ACL policies" -rules 'acl = "read"'
ID: 35b8ecb0-707c-ee18-2002-81b238b54b38
Name: acl-replication
Description: Policy capable of replicating ACL policies
Datacenters:
Rules:
acl = "read"
```
Create a new policy valid only in specific datacenters with rules read from a file:
```sh
$ consul acl policy create -name "replication" -description "Replication" -rules @rules.hcl -valid-datacenter dc1 -valid-datacenter dc2
ID: ca44555b-a2d8-94de-d763-88caffdaf11f
Name: replication
Description: Replication
Datacenters: dc1, dc2
Rules:
acl = "read"
service_prefix "" {
policy = "read"
intentions = "read"
}
```
Create a new policy with rules equivalent to that of a legacy ACL token:
```sh
$ consul acl policy create -name "node-services-read" -from-token 5793a5ce -description "Can read any node and service"
ID: 06acc965-df4b-5a99-58cb-3250930c6324
Name: node-services-read
Description: Can read any node and service
Datacenters:
Rules:
service_prefix "" {
policy = "read"
}
node_prefix "" {
policy = "read"
}
```
