# Consul Intention Create
|
|
|
|
-> **Deprecated** - This command is deprecated in Consul 1.9.0 in favor of
|
|
using the [config entry CLI command](/commands/config/write). To create an
|
|
intention, create or modify a
|
|
[`service-intentions`](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-intentions) config
|
|
entry for the destination.
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul intention create`
|
|
|
|
Corresponding HTTP API Endpoint: [\[POST\] /v1/connect/intentions](/api-docs/connect/intentions#create-intention-with-id)
|
|
|
|
The `intention create` command creates or updates an L4 intention.
|
|
|
|
The table below shows this command's [required ACLs](/api#authentication). Configuration of
|
|
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking) and [agent caching](/api/features/caching)
|
|
are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint.

|
|
line arguments, instead of source/destination pairs.
