Is User Allowed • AI Agent SDK

</div>

This is a method of the BotConfig class in the config module.

Check if a user is allowed to interact with the bot.

Note: an empty `allowed_users returns True here for backward compatibility, but the inbound security pipeline gates on :meth:is_explicitly_allowed — an empty allowlist is NOT treated as "allow everyone" and instead defers to unknown_user_policy (default deny). Set unknown_user_policy="allow"` to open the bot to all users.
