permission
Sanctioned go-ahead signal
Permission is the act of allowing someone to do something, or the state of being allowed.
When you have permission, someone with authority has agreed that you may proceed: She got permission from her parents to stay out late.
Permission can be granted formally through documents or informally through a nod or verbal okay.
To ask permission is to request approval before acting, a convention that acknowledges someone else's authority over the matter.
