By default, everyone is allowed, including google.
 
However, if you want to disallow someone specific, for example Yahoo! then you can do this:
 
# robots.txt file for my website
# feel free to contact us @....

User-agent: Yahoo
Disallow: /
In the above example yahoo will be disallowed from viewing the entire site... if you want it to be disallowed from only one folder then you can sepcify just that one folder's path.
For example: disallow /temp
this will prevent yahoo from viewing the temp folder.

That you will need to post a support question in the support forum.

you could create a user called "GoogleBot" and check the User Agent if it contains googlebot then "log them in".

and give them read access but not post access.

though it could potentially be 'hacked' as all someone needs to do is change their user agent. or by viewing the cached page
