I kinda worry about this.

I wish I could tell people that having that much access raises legal issues for me.

It's not enough to have them sign a contract limiting liability because as a business they have far more lawyers than I do.

When I work on a contract I want to be able to say in court that I couldn't possibly be in any way related to the event of a bug, security breach or data loss because I simply do not have access.

It is genuinely worrying on my part to carry around credentials with that much data. What if my laptop is hacked or stolen? I do not want to be sued (again it doesn't matter if they have a valid case or not, I don't want to deal with legal fees or anything.)

This is what I wish.

Obviously things are far from that.
