I suspect that it&#x27;s more common than you&#x27;d guess.<p>In one situation I was working for a supplier to a massive corporation (a household name). They had all sorts of red tape in the process. Every change required filling in forms and getting official sign off from several parties before getting the release code over.<p>Anyway, we had a database user that was so restricted the we couldn&#x27;t run the install process of a new product. I knew they ran the releases as SA so the start of my release script upgraded all the permissions of our user to give full access to everything.
