You can use VSS as the tool for managing changes to the web server.
Assuming that your developers use VSS with working folders on a test machine
(perhaps even their own) the Admin can define set the projects to point to
folders on the deployment or production server. When ready, the Web Deploy
option mekes sure that all the changed files are copied out to the
locations specified when the Web Project was configured.

What I have seen done is to have developers make all intial changes locally
on thier private machine, using VSS like you would for Visual Studio.
Define Shadow Folders for each web project to point to an intermediate
integration server for QA. When files are checked in, they become available
for integration testing.
Define Web projects that point to the production environment. When the
release is called for, deploying the web projects copies the code to the
production locations.
