open-door policy
Unrestricted entry approach
An open-door policy is a practice where someone in authority—typically a manager or administrator—makes themselves available for questions, concerns, or conversation without requiring a formal appointment: Our department has an open-door policy, so feel free to drop by anytime.
The term also describes a nation's policy of unrestricted immigration or trade access.
