While I totally agree that sys and system don't need to be given to =
anyone other than the primary DBA and then sealed in an envelope hidden =
away in a safe, I am not so clear on why granting select any dictionary =
is as big a concern.  As far as I know, this only allows view access to =
the data dictionary, which pretty much anyone doing any tuning or =
monitoring probably needs.  Even OEM assumes a non-sys/non-system =
account with this level of privilege which is used for monitoring.  Is =
there a specific reason not to let people have select any dictionary? =20

Just curious.

Assuming that you made the request of the client using the same tone as
here, I'm not surprised.  Why do you need an account with such
priviledges?  In general NO one outside of the DBA group here has access
to SYS or SYSTEM, including internal folks.
