In accordance with Archimate standard, Archi won't allow creation of passive-to-active access relationships, but while access relationship can be directed only one way, arrowhead on its visual representation can point both ways for read and write access. By default, Archi always creates write access relationships, changing them into read requires extra operations. It would be nice if Archi allows passive-to-active access relationship creation not as a violation of the standard, but as a shortcut for creating active-to-passive read relationships. Or, if this is too difficult, add a hotkey for toggling read/write/access modes, which also can be used for toggling directed mode for association relationship.

A passive element is .... PASSIVE. This is "data logic". So the relationship is always initiated by a non passive element : structure (i.e. actor, applicationcomponent, systemsoftware, node...) or a behavioral element (any process, service, function...)
A data element (business object, data object or artifact) cannot initiate any change :-). If you are thinking about procedures, then consider it as a technical service/function or a system software.
