Morphology

permissioned = permission (transparent) = permission + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival/predicative '-ed' to the noun 'permission' to mean 'having or subject to permission', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word permissioned comes from permission, which in turn comes from permit meaning 'to allow'. So a permissioned system is one that only 'allows' users who have the right approval to access or take part.
