Once I asked server support guy to move database from production to dev. He did - without any question of doubt - exactly that: copied database to dev environment and deleted it from the production.
(note: in my language word "move" is less unambiguous than in English - it may mean, depending on the context "move" or "copy").

If there's any ambiguity, if data may be lost, if something may cause an outage - then they have a duty to tell you and then ask if you're sure. I do it all the time. "Give this access to this user to this db." 'Okay, but do you know they'll be able to drop your db?' "Oh shit okay wait a sec..."
