You sound like a bundle of joy. To me it all depends on the situation - but I’ve dealt w/ network engineers that really had no business being over it or any real understanding of Linux, ssh, tunnels, etc. He was constantly ignoring my work related requests that absolutely needed resolution in 4-48hrs so I just stopped communicating w/ him.
The moment I gained access to a staging server that wasn’t locked down to hell & back I forwarded whatever ports & level of access that I needed. It’d have served the company better to give me the permissions to open up ports & access as I needed in the first place, devs need access to what they’re dev’ing or running against but given the level of quality people I was dealing w/ I just gave up & granted myself access in other ways vs opening up support tickets all the time.I did recently gain access to an employee that was on it though & used common sense - sadly they’ve resigned & I don’t know why but I do know it’s a HUGE loss. They had some amazing side projects going on too - the guy was valuable imo & an effort to keep him should have been made if it hadn’t.

Don’t worry though, they “encrypt” the password.
