If you don't feel comfortable with access=yes then use the "I'm not sure" alternatives (private/permissive).
If it's open then it's barrier=entrance (with access tags indicating if it's impassable or locked for some users). If it's shut it's barrier=gate. It only gets more complicated than that if it's open for some users, and shut for others. Then you need two separate ways with a barrier=entrance on one and a barrier=gate on the other.
