How about permitted rather then allowed.

or audit2allow to add it as a field.  Comments?
I think it's a great idea, but I'm worried that Steve is going to get
grumpy because an AVC record is going to have a result= field which is
similar, but not necessarily related to the res= field of a SYSCALL
record.  Seems easily confused (although probably 9999 times out of
10000 they will be the same)

So while I wholeheartedly think we should take the idea, I wonder if
someone can dream up a name that isn't confusingly similar...

I can't think of anything...
