There's a big difference between "Can I have full access to the databases?" and "I'd like to automate some of this repetitive work by doing blah, which requires access to the database."

I explained it all to them. I told them that the other locations can also use this but they said no. I explained in full details and they still said no. They rather fix frozen screens and locked password accounts.
I can still do my work, I just have to export several queries to excel and create a few pivot tables out of them.
From what I see, they are not too into developing the system, just maintaining it. It's not the first request they turned down from me. I'm all about finding ways to do work faster/easier but I guess not all poeple are.
