admittance

Permission to enter

Admittance is permission or the right to enter a place.

A sign reading no admittance means you cannot go in.

The word carries a slightly more formal tone than admission, though both can refer to being allowed entry.

In electrical engineering, admittance has a technical meaning: it measures how easily an electrical circuit allows current to flow, the reciprocal of impedance.
