Application Admins with Local Admin on Servers

System Administrators -

I am trying to get a feel for what other companies do with regard to
application developers needing local admin privileges on servers. I am
specifically working in a Windows environment but believe that the
same principles would apply in any environment. Here are my questions:

Do you grant admin privileges to application developers?
If not, do you grant them specific access or do you take care of the
work for them?

I do understand that it is a violation of separation of duties to
allow application developers to have local admin or root on systems, I
am simply try to get an idea of what the rest of the community does in
practice.

Thanks!
