As a non-native speaker, I thought of passe-partout., according to Collins Dictionary:

that which passes or allows passage everywhere

The problem is that you want a positive word and put "not" in front of it, while you can use a negative term as well. That wouldn't be "pas passe-partout", which would sound funny, especially in French. But more something like inapplicable or non-applicable.
