+## `allow-invalid`
+Whether to allow invalid entries in disallowed_* settings
+
+When this option is set to `true`, Clippy will ignore invalid entries in
+`disallowed_methods`, `disallowed_types`, `disallowed_macros`, etc. instead of
+emitting a diagnostic error.
+
+#### Example
+
+```toml
+allow-invalid = true
+disallowed-methods = [
+  # This would normally error if the path is incorrect, but with allow-invalid = true,
+  # it will be silently ignored
+  { path = "std::fs::InvalidPath", reason = "use alternative instead" },
+]
+```

+**Default Value:** `false`
