Allow, authorise (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

permit

This clue is a double definition.

'allow' is the first definition.
(I know that allow can be written as permit)

'authorise' is the second definition.
(I know that authorise is a more specific form of permit)

(Other definitions for permit that I've seen before include "Allow - visa" , "Let - pass" , "Let; enabling document" , "Allow; make possible" , "Warrant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
