General project lesson: Access

This weekend we went to R12, and I was surprised by how many people had not logged into the Production environment.  This made us troubleshoot issues that were never encountered previously, as we had the application in a state of flux, so it gave me the idea for this post that when you are granted access to a server or application that you make sure you have access several days in advance.  If you don't verify your access early, you'll run into unique issues or impossible scenarios which may prevent tasks on your plan from being completed on time when it comes to pull the trigger on them.
