Carte blanche literally means "blank check." It is a term used when person A does a favor for person B and in return requests carte blanche (aka, a promised favor in the future.) Just like a blank check can be any amount, carte blanche could could be any range of favors.

A situational term. This can take place in either a home with multiple roommates or an office with several coworkers. The first roommate/coworker that goes into the bathroom in the morning to lay down the first dump of the day has "carte blanche". Meaning that he/she has a blank canvas to do his work on and therefor set the tone for the day's defacation.
Keller ate tacos last night, I'm glad I got into the office early this morning to get the carte blanche.

if someone has been given carte blanche, it means that the person is free to do or say whatever they please.
John: So you are saying the only rule is to get the ball to the target?
Alice: Yep! There are no other rules.

Alice: Think of it this way. All the players have carte blanche to do whatever they think will help them get the ball to the target
John: So punching is allowed?
Alice: Anything.
