Answer: /etc/cron.allow
Section: 107.2 Automate system administration tasks by scheduling jobs

Explanation/Reference:
From the man pages:
If  the  /etc/cron.allow file exists, then you must be listed therein in order to be allowed to use this command. If the /etc/cron.allow file does not exist but the /etc/cron.deny file does exist, then you must not be listed in the /etc/cron.deny file in order to use this command.
