Puedes = you can (are able) debes = you should
How do you say "you may", as in "you are allowed to"?
For example, "you can sing well" (ability); "you may sing here" (permission).
In English, many of us use "can" when we should use "may". Similar issue in Spanish? Or maybe no distinction between the two in Spanish?

I think that in some circumstances "poder" is possible, but you can also use "permitir"
¿Me permite cantar aquí?
