What an allowlist does

An allowlist limits bot access to known users or chats. It is one of the simplest ways to avoid accidental open access.

Safety warning

Do not set broad access policies until you understand who can message the bot and what tools the agent can use.

Maintenance checklist

  • Review allowed users after testing.
  • Remove people who no longer need access.
  • Recheck after moving the bot into a group.
