Esto nos permite a (whatever verb in the inifinitive).
That final "a" reminds me of "to" in English, and it is a typical mistake among English speakers. Whichever verb follows "permite" is a direct object; that's why it must be an infinitive, and that's why "a" should not be used.

You would only use 'esta' if the noun you are referring to with 'this' is a feminine noun in spanish.
