    A policy and or procedure question:
    I am curious to know what levels of access security professionals are
    granted inside organizations. Should the security team maintain
    administrative and root type access for all systems? Should there be a
    process by which they can obtain this level of access at any time if
    they don't maintain it constantly? Should security professionals be
    limited to only read access but to all data? Or, should security
    professionals only have access upon request for any system, data, or
    resource? Are there any policies or best practices that address this
    issue?

    Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide,
