Yes, you should give IT a login on your rogue server. A root login. And you should beg their pardon for setting up a server on their network without their permission. How are they supposed to run their network and keep it secure with people like you popping up servers in every nook and cranny? (Rest assured you're not the only one.)
Stop with the anarchy. If I were running IT there, I'd give you 3 minutes to turn that box over to the people who run boxes like that for a living or get your whole department removed from the network.
