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.
