No, normally they will not ask for it unless they are actually doing software or system engineering work on the products. If they are the non-engineering type then they normally have an executive dashboard interface that they use to find the information they are looking for vs a DevOps dashboard. For those that are not actually doing work on the product that request access or any managerial/executive types they are normally forbidden direct access to any production or testing systems unless they are actually doing engineering work. This access is denied via physical access controls ( no PMs, managers or executives in the datacenters, network closets or anywhere there are servers or networking gear ). Logical access controls, there systems cannot access the development network or databases, they go through the frontend or internally through a web application interface just like finance, accounting, marketing, etc. go through. The only people that can directly access the servers or networking equipment are a small amount of top level networking, security and system engineers. As for most companies, especially those with industry certifications or that work with the government (RMF for example) want you to insure that least privilege access and access based on job role be used. This means the PMs and executive level people do not get direct access to anything and have to go through the proper channels if they need engineering channels if they need more information than what is not available through the standard interface.
