The tests are automated… by the QA team. Using a web-based tool for which none of the devs have access.

I see two ways forward, both probably not great advice.

1. Ask for forgiveness and do whatever you think is prudent regardless of org structure.

2. Find a better org structure elsewhere :)

I tend to agree. When I am capable of summoning the energy to care at this point, I make a run at #1. I have recently decided to actively pursue #2, as well.

Write your own automated tests that you control.
