> allow you to exit via the emergency doors

If you had to be allowed to exit via emergency doors then they wouldn't be very good emergency doors. They're not going to chase after you :)

You can still physically do it even if you’re not allowed to, yes.

(There’s at least one other situation where you might be authorized to use the emergency gates sans emergency: a few of the stations have the elevators to the platform outside the paid area for some bizarre reason, so when transiting the station by elevator you have to go through the fare gates and then immediately leave via the emergency exit to get to the train!)
