Ability to have granular scope for data explorer?

Sounds to me like what you are asking for, and which seems a good idea a lot of communities would benefit from, is a setting like data_explorer_allowed_groups which lets you provide full access to data explorer to more groups in addition to admins.

The reason not to do that is that it gives those people full (though read-only) access to everything in the database–passwords, IP addresses (which moderators have), all of the secrets in SiteSettings, and probably some other stuff. OTOH, it is read-only, so it’s not the SAME as being an admin. Oh, also, the secrets needed to log in as someone else if you have a login link sent.
