How would you translate manga ancha?

Question

I was reading an article about Internet video productions moving to television and ran across the phrase manga ancha:

Tanto la cadena como la productora han querido la idea y le han dejado a Rubén [el productor] manga ancha para realizarla, no han puesto pegas de ningún tipo ni en los guiones ni en nada.

I get the drift - they've given the producer a lot of leeway, but I'm not sure leeway is quite the right English phrase. Here's what I found after some searching:

manga ancha - tolerancia grande ante los errores de otros

No tengo paciencia ni manga ancha.

Any better translations?

Answer 1

"free rein", perhaps.

Answer 2

Well, the dictionary here says this-

-ser de manga ancha, tener manga ancha (figurative) -> to be over-indulgent

-ser de manga ancha -> to be easy-going

So with these definitions , I would say that your translation is good, or to give more margin.
