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.
