If one is a cardholder of a

If one is a cardholder of a *G card from any airline other than UA or US, they are permitted access to any *G lounge (including domestic) upon presentation of a same day boarding pass for a *A operated flight.
Here is what the United profile says:
* * STAR GOLD ACCESS - OA STAR ALLIANCE CUSTOMERS * *
STAR GOLD CUSTOMERS (EXCEPT UA AND US AIR STAR GOLD)
TRAVELING ON A SAME DAY STAR OPERATED FLIGHT
HAVE ACCESS TO RED CARPET CLUB ON DAY OF TRAVEL
CUSTOMER SHOULD PRESENT STAR GOLD CARD
AND BOARDING PASS FOR STAR OPERATED FLIGHT
* * SEE NOTE BELOW FOR UA AND US * *
** NOTE UA AND US STAR GOLD CUSTOMERS HAVE ACCESS
ONLY IN CONJUCTION WITH INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL* * *
GUESTS MUST ENTER THE LOUNGE WITH AN ELIGIBLE
STAR ALLIANCE GOLD MEMBER AND MUST DEPART ON A
STAR ALLIANCE MEMBER AIRLINE BUT MAY TRAVEL ON A
DIFFERENT FLIGHT.
