I put “allowed everywhere” in the poll but it isn’t quite that extreme.
The cats are not allowed to walk on computer keyboards or to continue to sleep where people want to sit. They are not allowed in the bathrooms at all, and there are two other rooms of the house they are not allowed into.
I discourage counter standing, but tables are fine. They get on counters and in sink anyway, just not when I am watching 
Not allowed in the bathrooms at all? Strange. That’s where my cat’s primary box is, since it serves her bathroom functions.
The cats are allowed anywhere in the house, except for the basement and attic, for safety reasons. And any surface that may contain food. And they can sleep wherever they please. The king-size bed can at times hold six of us . . . me, my partner, my cats and his dogs.
My roomate’s cat does this, and I don’t even feed him.
Four, except not counters or the table.
Our house isn’t childproofed anymore, so the, potentially poisonous to cats, cleaning chemicals we keep in the bathroom; bleach, borax, ammonia, etc. Things that are needed to retard mold growth or what have you. Our bathrooms are too small for litterboxes anyway.
My cats will let me sit on the furniture if they’re not using it. And they will let me browse on my laptop unless they want to be petted or fed or let out, in which case they will walk onto my keyboard repeatedly, randomly changing settings and closing web pages until I do their bidding. But other than that, I can do pretty much whatever I want, so I’d say I’m pretty autonomous.
That was the question, wasn’t it?
She’s not allowed on food prep or serving surfaces. We’re working on begging at the table.
Otherwise, except for the tenant’s (who is allergic) room, the garage, and a room with dangerous places, she has full run of the house.
After getting baths in the sink she sill NOT go on the counter, nor voluntarily stay on it.
One cutie: I walked into the kitchen one morning and found her on the stove, with this “you said no table, no counter. Nobody said nuttin’ about no stove” look. I gave her a “cute. real cute.” look, and haven’t seen her there since.
I developed a brief allergy, and kicked her out of the bedroom. The roomie informed me that she spent the night sitting staring at the door.
That was the last time she was shut out of the bedroom (I moved the old blanket which she knows as “bed” into a corner well from the head of the bed.
Don’t know what she’d do if she hadn’t been adopted by stay-at-home owners and was left alone during working hours. As it is, if I’m gone more than two hours, she greets me at the door with this little "He’s Home! He’s Home! No more lonely hours! He’s home!.
Sometimes I wonder if she is really a cat…
Older cat learned quickly that kitchen surfaces were our defended territory, and with occasional exceptions, has respected that. Always kept him indoors until we got our house. Take him out on a leash (really, he mostly doesn’t mind) because he’s an old cat and we don’t want him beat up by the neighborhood feral cats, hit by a car, nor eaten by a dog.
New cat we don’t trust out at all, and have not even tried a harness on her. She likewise seems to associate upper kitchen surfaces with bad, loud noises, and goes elsewhere.
We both like the feel of a cat walking on us at night in bed.
Not allowed on anything with Push Buttons. Like LapTops, Keyboards and Sound Boards.
