advice project manager given access to production environment

[gwu]

Can anyone tell me how other web software development companies work in terms of project manager given limited access to production environment. PM is only given read/write to the root directory of the web files and access to the database.

Or does the pm give all necessary files to the server admins to update web apps;pm has no access at all.

I would post this in the project management forum but it is "relativley dead".

What is everyones experience/input?

In the past, I've seen project managers with read-only access to production. If they want to change something, they'd have to write a script (or find someone else to write it), and pass the script through the usual approval process for making ad-hoc changes to customer data.
