Oh, the frustration of stupid company politics.
It's at times like this when I feel like writing a really flippant
response. Something along the lines of "oh, well, if I'm not authorised
to do this, then that's just fine. I'll just leave it exactly the way it
is, and then _when_ it's reported as a serious audit finding, I'll let
you take the blame for it for NOT LETTING ME DO MY ****ING JOB IN THE
FIRST PLACE!!"
Sadly, I severely doubt this will actually work. You don't get to be the
Director of IT unless you're good at playing the political game
(regardless of how much you actually know about IT).
Jesus I sound jaded... o_O I'm only 29. :'{

Document everything. If someone says you can't do something, have them
sign a document saying such. Tell them, "Sign this or SYIM and let me
do it."

Second that. Even a simple email from them may suffice in saving your
rear end. However, demanding a signature may scare them enough to let
you do whatever it is you want.

Thirded. I would get it in writing and save it. First rule of CYA is if
it's not in writing, it didn't happen.
