See, Debbie, that's what happens when I jump in a week late without
reading all the posts first.

If you're the developer they don't get access unless they sign a release
first absolving you of all responsibility for maintaining the site. 
Really.  All.

You can't be responsible if they are.  Plain and simple.  You probably
lose them as a development customer.  Maybe even as a hosting customer. 
But it doesn't matter.  You can't be responsible if they can make
changes.  Plain and simple.
