SchemaSurf will go most way to your requirements.  It's a web-based schema 
browser - specifically designed for viewing schemas and data in a production 
environment - aka a Read-Only tool.  It does allow queries, based upon indexed 
columns, and the data can be pulled back to screen (HTML) or to Excel.  It 
shows pretty much all data associated with a schema, including storage etc.  It 
will limit you in terms of constructing business intelligence (BI) type queries 
but then it was never designed to do that.  Security is by schema - per 
standard database login.
 
SchemaSurf is being used by many of the worlds major companies, in almost 60 
countries, whereby they are using a mixture of Toad for dev and SchemaSurf for 
prod environments.  Their reasoning is always pretty  much the same as your 
query.
 
Best part - it's FreeWare! www.cobblesoft.com/schemasurf

  We are looking for a gui-based tool to let our users/developers run query
  and possibly dml on databases, but not allow ddl changes or other intrusive
  commands.
  I already know about Oracle Discoverer.
