I have seen

  parking lots where there is a sign or an implication that use is
  intended for and/or restricted to those using the associated business
  (everywhere)

  parking where there is no public right of access (private property),
  but random parking is allowed (sometimes)


I would call the first access=destination and the second access=permissive.
