We are trying to clean up the SharePoint environment (MOSS 2007).
Currently, our developers, system administrators, and content administrators have full access rights to the root site (and almost everything under it) in our production environment. I believe this is a terrible practice and the belief that our content administrators need nothing more than Design, perhaps even Contribute.
My question is for all of you: What permission level should a developer have in a SharePoint production environment?
I believe that a developer should have a higher level of access in production than anyone else. After all, they donβt have to change something in production themselves, right?
