Is their any requirement that a team must grant permission to interview requests if the new position is a promotion?
eg: assistant to head coach, ahl head coach to nhl head coach?
The only information I found is this article about the NHL ending the policy of draft pick compensation for hiring fired coaches. It says that permission is always required and says nothing to indicate that permission must be granted if the position being interviewed for is a promotion.
NHL to end coach and executive compensation policy
Please don't speculate or post hearsay eg: "it is rumored that team x was denied permission". That will just cloud the issue more.

Now the League will return to the previous policy, which requires teams to grant permission to its coaches and executives under contract to interview with other teams. If permission is granted and the coach or executive changes teams, there will no longer be any compensation to the team losing personnel.
