Always allow

Always allow means to give continuing permission for the same kind of requested access or action whenever it is requested in the future, until that permission is changed or removed.

In plain English

This means the permission keeps applying over time, not just for one moment. It covers the same type of access or action again whenever it is requested later. It stays in effect until someone changes or removes that permission.
