Allowed Nodes determines which individual nodes and Monitoring Groups the security row has access to.

If a Monitoring Group is selected, all nodes that are part of the Monitoring Group will be allowed.

Monitoring Groups are much more convenient, and saves you from clicking on many individual nodes.
