</code></pre>

{% hint style="info" %}
The `flowRateAllowance` works just like [allowance](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/contracts/2.x/api/token/erc20#IERC20-allowance-address-address-) for regular ERC20 tokens. See it explained [**here**](https://superfluid.gitbook.io/superfluid/developers/constant-flow-agreement-cfa/cfa-access-control-list-acl/..#flowrateallowance-parameter).

#### Example Usage

```solidity
// Giving Alice permission to only create flows (no update or delete permissions
// of someSuperToken from the contract up to an allowance of 100,000 wei/sec.

someSuperToken.setFlowPermissions(
    alice,
    true,
    false,
    false,
    100000
)
