Whenever your game moves a player’s character with PivotTo, a direct CFrame assignment, TeleportService, or any other server-side teleport, you should call AllowTeleport first. It opens a short exception window covering all movement checks so the anticheat system does not flag the sudden positional change. AllowTeleport is a focused shorthand - it is equivalent to calling BeginMovementException with all five checks enabled, but with a simpler parameter set.

Signature

​
Parameters

​
Player
required
The Player instance to grant the teleport exception to.
​
number?
How long, in seconds, the exception window should remain open. If omitted, Trace uses a short default window sufficient for most instantaneous teleports. Pass a larger value when the teleport may take several seconds to complete (for example, when using TeleportService across places).
​
string?
A human-readable description of the teleport. Written to Trace’s moderation logs and visible in the Trace dashboard.

​
Returns

​
string?
A token you can optionally pass to EndMovementException if you need to end the exception before duration expires. For fire-and-forget teleports you can discard this value and let the exception expire naturally. Returns nil on failure.
​
string?
A description of what went wrong. Only present when token is nil.

​
Examples

​
Round spawn teleport

Open a 2-second window, then move the character. The window expires on its own:

​
Cross-place teleport with TeleportService

Use a longer window to cover the time TeleportService takes to initiate the transfer:
For short, one-shot teleports you can also use WithMovementException with Checks = {"Teleport"}. It is equally effective and automatically cleans up the exception the moment your teleport call returns - no timer needed.
