There are no rules that state "developers cannot have access to production data"
we impose (actually I am trying to :( ) impose the rule that developers cannot have access to production *systems*. Sure they might need to see the data, or a subset thereof, to replicate an issue - though with appropriately written and instrumented software you should just need the logs :) - that doesn't translate into hacking around on production.
get an account that is anything other than read only.
and how do you do that and make support work? Actually there is a wider how do you do that at all, but I digress.
