In this case, BA lounge lists "business class" for access on oneworld.com BOS page, along with the text "Access for eligible customers traveling on any oneworld member airline.".

Was my denial in accordance with oneworld policy?
BA regularly refuses access to a number of its lounges based upon capacity issues. Oneworld lounge policy allows this.
Some lounges may get busy at peak times, and access to them may be restricted as a result.
