The thing is that your manager does not need your permission. He comes in, states he wants to have all the accesses and you give them to him.
If you do not, he rightly fires you.
There are of course many legal cases where administrative access is limited.
What you are describing is scary : you hold the company in hostage, and the company is apparently happy with this since it allows such a posture from their admin team.
Beside the legal aspects I mentioned, I always had complete access to all the thousands machines and services I was ultimately in charge of. I would have test scenarios to ensure access is granted, but did not log into them because there was no reason to do so (and I may break something).
Note: the way how the acces is provided in another story. It should be documented, traceable, etc.
