I've written a definition for access=permit:

permit

        

Use is subject to prior authorization (eg written, photo, other), in the absence of which the use (entry) may be denied. Permission (which may only apply to certain transportation mode: bicycle, foot, etc.) is not granted on the basis of individual assessment but can be obtained by anyone. This is the difference of substance between private and permit, because only the rightholders are given permission based on individual discretion.

Could you check it out because it was created with the help of Google translator.

    I thought "*=permissive" meant: "You have no legal right use that on
    this road/path/etc, someone else 'owns'/controls it. However they
    allow
    anyone to use it by default, but they reserve the right to kick you
    out/off for any reason." And that doesn't sound like what you
    describe.


You are absolutely correct. However, access=permit was only agreed upon in the last
couple of months whereas those tags were added prior to that approval and
access=permissive was the best fit back then. I should have made it clearer I was describing what had been tagged and not endorsing what had been done. Actually,
I only remembered access=permit after I'd sent that mail.

    It seems like this permit system gives someone a (temporary)
    _right_ to
    drive their golf cart along those paths. I think
    `golf_cart=permit` is
    more accurate here.


I'd agree with you there. Certainly if I were mapping it now I'd use access=permit. I'd hesitate to change the existing tags without first contacting the original mapper. Which I shall
leave to somebody else who feels like taking on that particular exercise.
