I am DBA at medium sized company. We recently hired a new Director for project integration. The director requested Sysadmin privilages to all sql servers in the domain. I just do not want get into argument by saying NO to this request so wondering how you folks manage these kind of situations.
In most cases director might need is read access
I know it might be different from company to company but I just want to hear from experts how to handle these situations.
Thanks in advance,Sarwan.

Do you report to this new director or do you report to someone else? If someone else, you should be talking to that person not us. If you report to the new director, you should be talking to him, asking him why he believes he needs that level of access. If he needs that access, it should be documented for audit purposes (PCI, HIPPA, SOX, etc.)
It is possibile that you may need to give him two ways to access the systems. The first should be the general (normal) login with restricted access for normal day to day activities and a second with the sys admin access that should only be used when actually needed and all activities are properly monitored (audited).

I do not report to Director. The reason I posted here because I wanted to check how to deal with people in a such a big role when requests for SA rights and I got your point. thanks.
