Thanks for responding (and to everyone else who has responded too!) I've been wondering about this, too--whether webmasters are also the sysadmins over the boxes, too. In our situation, we have a webmaster who uploads files, comes up with policies and procedures, trains staff, etc. I was supposed to be the sysadmin over the web servers, and to be her backup on uploading when she's absent. Now, they're trying to reorganize, and they're proposing to make the webmaster a "creative director" of a communications dept., taking over the policies & procedures part, along with the creative design end, create a new "web team leader" position who uploads files, trains staff, and attends meetings. In our dept., we have four people doing sysadmin work with the servers, and we don't let the applications developers have root access--we maintain all the services on the boxes, they just develop on them. Thanks!
