I would say it would depend. Previous $dayjob$ each Admin (DA or local) had their own password and only shared access to the Enterprise password that was kept sealed and changed after each use. Any DA could change any other password and get access but doing so would leave an audit trail. Current $dayjob$ has things a lot different DA and Enterprise Admin passwords are kept in a software repository kept on site with any admin being able to get into the password safe but doing so will send out alerts to the Security staff and IT administration staff. If they see you just looking around you get called in and questioned about your access. If you go in get a specific password and get out they don't question it nearly as much if you notify one of the administrator's afterwards of the reason you went into the safe they don't question it at all.
