Permissioned is the opposite of permissionless. Often used in relation to blockchains and DApps. If something is permissioned, it is not open for anyone to join or participate.

Permissioned blockchains are also know as private blockchains and permissionless blockchains as public blockchains. If a blockchain has certain hindrances (permissions, like only the team or invites) to become a validator or user, it is considered permissioned.

Permissioned within DApps and Smart Contracts usually is in regards to admin keys and whitelists. Meaning respectively that a team member or multisig has certain extra permissions (rights) or an address is whitelisted (allowed) to participate in a private mint (usually of NFTs or in an ICO).
