" "Were allowing" would be correct too, but it is generally best to avoid using more words if you can say it more concisely another way.

"Before" indicates past tense, so you should say "allowed." "Were allowing" would be correct too, but it is generally best to avoid using more words if you can say it more concisely another way.
