For what I think Im reading:
Yes, the IT director or whoever you report to should have a list of all passwords: Domain Admin, service accounts, local admin, etc. They should be recorded and ideally kept in a safe. Failing that, the head of the department should at least have a soft copy of the information. If you get hit by a bus, have a family emergency, get sick, etc. these passwords and your documentation should be available. That being said, no one should access the network using the admin passwords, etc. without your knowledge. Effective communication is the key here, when it comes to something like this then having at the very least an email of understanding would document it.
