Allowlisting (or Whitelisting in older versions) players on a Minecraft Bedrock server helps ensure that only trusted and approved players can join the server, which can help prevent griefing, hacking, and other unwanted behavior. By limiting access to the server, it can also better manage server resources and avoid overloading it with too many players.
You will need the players Xbox Live Gamertag to allowlist them.
