Dennis,
I think you are probably ok with this. But the best way to do this is to
create an Oracle account, grant what he asks, and start OEM using that
account. Try and change things and see what happens. Then you will know
for sure what the impact is.
Good Luck!

Raj - Thanks for your reply. Were this a consultant, my reply would mirror
yours, and maybe not so diplomatically.
But basically I manage these databases on behalf of this manager, so when
he asks for "read-only" access, I can't really refuse. And I think he is
pretty competent as a DBA. He says that he prefers to use OEM instead of
Toad.
What I'm really asking is what could these grants be used for besides
just reading data? If there are other actions that could be done, I could at
least ask him not to perform those actions, so if something bad happens I
have provided an alert ahead of time.
For those who use OEM in your environment, does the SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE
and SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privileges sound pretty usual for OEM to be able
to scout out the info it needs to paint the pretty displays?
Yes, I am checking out how this exposes links and what is available on
the other systems the links point to. I have also asked his group not to
create any database links. Fortunately we have relatively few links.
Again, thanks for your advice.

Dennis,
"select any table" has to be a big no no ... anyone can select from
sys.link$. But I am still trying how OEM can be used for _development_??
what am I missing? As for
One of our groups hired a new consultant and he (claimed to have DBA
background) immediately shot off an email saying he needed "select any
table" and "select catalog role" to do his work. We shot off reply "Thanks
for your email, while we appreciate your requirements for development, the
privileges you are requesting are a tad different than we grant other
developers. However we request that you submit a justification for these
privileges and tell us how your development would be affected without these
and we will accommodate your request". This was 3 months ago and we _still_
haven't heard back.
Raj

We have a new manager that wants his group to use OEM for development
access, as an alternative to Toad. He has requested a special Oracle userid
with the following grants:
SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE
SELECT ANY DICTIONARY
SELECT ANY TABLE
Does this seem reasonable for OEM? The manager is responsible for the data
in the database, so I don't see a problem with him viewing the data. There
are few database links, and I'll be reviewing them. Any ideas on what
mischief could occur? Thanks.
