Apparently you like to live in a mess. In my experience most developers I work with have 0 (that is ZERO) knowledge of Oracle. Usually they also don't know how to program, and they just learned how to hit a few buttons.
There is NO ADVANTAGE at all to provide incompetent developers access to the bdump directory. Likely they will only screw up the database more,

I'll never understand why a DBA would consider to give access to the bdump to directory to developers who even don't WANT to work together with the DBA because they ASSUME they know EVERYTHING better. Those developers are a pest and should be kept out as much as possible, because they'll ALWAYS blame the DBA when THEY make a mistake.
