    A disallowed URL is one which you do not want any external clients to access. If you would like to permit all clients to access all your URLs, then you do not need to disallow any of them.

    F5 Newbie,

     

    To add to Erik's answer. A simple reason to use this is if you don't want to expose any administrative areas of your website.
