# Consul ACL Token Create
Command: `consul acl token create`
Corresponding HTTP API Endpoint: [\[PUT\] /v1/acl/token](/api-docs/acl/tokens#create-a-token)
This command creates new tokens. When creating a new token, policies may be linked using
either the `-policy-id` or the `-policy-name` options. When specifying policies by IDs you
may use a unique prefix of the UUID as a shortcut for specifying the entire UUID.
The table below shows this command's [required ACLs](/api-docs#authentication). Configuration of
[blocking queries](/api-docs/features/blocking) and [agent caching](/api-docs/features/caching)
are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint.
