# Crowdsec #### AllowLists You can create a new AllowList using `cscli`: ``` cscli allowlist create my_allowlist -d 'created from the docs' ``` To add entries to the AllowList, provide the name and the value you want to allow: Single IP: ``` cscli allowlist add my_allowlist 192.168.1.1 ```

CIDR range: ``` cscli allowlist add my_allowlist 192.168.1.0/24 ```

A key benefit of using AllowLists is that changes take effect immediately—no need to restart CrowdSec. To view the contents of an AllowList, run: ``` cscli allowlist inspect my_allowlist ```
