A more thorough explanation: Permissive authority refers to the authority granted to an individual or entity to act in a certain way or make decisions within a specified scope, but without a strict mandate or requirement to do so. It allows for discretion and flexibility in decision-making, as opposed to being strictly bound by rules or regulations.
Example: The city council granted permissive authority to the mayor to negotiate contracts on behalf of the city.
