When does permission equal moral permissibility?

I definitely feel there is a difference, but am struggling to verbalize it.

In nazi germanyNazi Germany, I may be legally permitted to execute jewishJewish people, but not morally so. Likewise, I have would prefer not to eat sardines for dinner again this evening, and I won't allow it of myself, but I am morally permitted to. 

Again, I do not give you explicit permission to do many things (I've not read the ToSTerms of Service closely, but I have never explicitly agreed to: e.g., anyone at all following me here from other parts of the internet and real life, though my use of an public access site suggests I may do so anyway), and do not even implicitly give you permission to do others (following me for personal gain),; but there may be no deontic prohibition against doing so, and it may be in the greater good.

Indeed, what I permit of someone may be different from what others permit of them (unlike Jake did, I do not permit my wife to sleep with Jake).

There does seem to be a non moral-moral permission.

The obvious is when it is moral. Is that all that can be said?
