Well, there is no way around this if they need to use OEM.  I would try
to discourage this usage.  If not, only give them SELECT ANY DICTIONARY
and select_catalog_role, not oem_manager - this will give them read-only
access.  There is also the issue of access to the password hash in
DBA_USERS, but that is an altogether different topic that is sure to
start a wild fire.

Hello all,
  Just wanted to get your thoughts ...  is there any "danger" to
granting 
developers the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY role in the database? (IMHO, they
don't 
particulary need such "open" access, however tools such as OEM require
it 
for login apparently).

Thanks for the multiple $0.02!
-Fred S.
