# Ask Permission > Submissive asks for everyday permissions; Dominant approves or denies with push alerts and 24h expiry. Source: https://getkneel.com/guide/permission-requests Last updated: 2026-08-25 --- *Quick asks, clear answers* Submissives send short everyday permission asks: going out, spending, starting an activity. The Dominant gets a push notification and approves or denies with optional notes. Pending requests expire after 24 hours if unanswered. A Premium feature; any partner's Premium unlocks it. ## Why it exists Not every decision needs a scene negotiation. Permission requests give submissives a lightweight way to ask for everyday clearance and give dominants a single place to answer — with accountability and expiry built in. ## Capabilities ### Fast asks Quick-pick from your recently used asks or write a custom message (up to 200 characters). Designed for real-life permissions, not long negotiations. ### Dominant review Incoming requests surface on the dominant home and in a dedicated list. Approve or deny from a detail sheet with optional notes. ### 24-hour expiry Unanswered requests auto-expire so nothing stays ambiguous indefinitely. ### Notifications Push alerts the Dominant when a new ask arrives; the submissive is notified when the request is answered or cancelled. ### History Review pending and recent permission activity from the permission requests screen. ## How each role uses it ### For Dominants (Dominant) Handle everyday asks without a thread of texts. - See new asks at a glance on your dashboard - Respond with approve or deny and optional context - Stay in control of boundaries while keeping logistics light ### For Submissives (submissive) Request permission in a structured, respectful channel. - Quick-pick from your recently used asks - Know when your ask was answered - Cancel a pending request if plans change ## Use cases - Going out with friends: quick ask before you leave - Purchases or spending within agreed rules - Starting an activity that needs prior approval
