Hi,

do not just grant select any table to users so that they can read any
data. This is a security risk to data and also to the dictionary in
earlier versions. I wrote about the subject of creating read only users
in my oracle security weblog a week or so ago. You might be interested
in what i suggested there. You can find the article here

hope this helps

kind regards

Pete
