I was thinking maybe, free to use but I'm not sure. Is there any one-word alternative?

Preferably an adjective.

For example, some user information is confidential and you need permission to access it. I need a word for user information that doesnt require permission. So the sentence would read: _____ user information

    Give a sample sentence. More context would be helpful.

  • Probably "open", but as TR says, we need to know how you'll use it.

  • What @TRomano said. In some circumstances unregulated would work, but there are other words more suited to other contexts.

"public" or "unrestricted" - as mentioned in one comment - will fit.

public (adj)

"The government has allowed public access to the documents."

  • +1 for public, likely the most common word for this type of information in computer software

  • public information. The OP's word "user" is neither here nor there (we are not a computer term naming service ;)

I owe this to @Dan Bron: open is more fitting to IT and online usage.Thus open user information; allowing access. Synonyms: not shut, not closed, unlocked, unsecured.
