    $\begingroup$ One cannot do this just from the character table: e.g. $D_8$ and $Q_8$ have the same character table but different permutation characters; if $C_2<D_8$ is non-central, then $C[D_8/C_2]$ has character $(4,0,2,0,0)$ which is not a permutation character for $Q_8$. $\endgroup$ Nov 15, 2011 at 13:02
