Reread your definition. The “act of admitting” refers to allowing someone to enter. As I was granted admittance to Studio 54 by the guy at the velvet rope.

Reread your definition. The “act of admitting” refers to allowing someone to enter.

3. The act of admitting as valid or satisfactory. acceptance, sanction.

4. The action of admitting the truth (of a tenet) either from conviction or for argument's sake.
