Are you talking about your production server or a test server? Personally developers at my location do not have access to the database server at all, except via the application like everyone else. On the test server they can have whatever access they want. If you mean minimum access required to view an existing diagram, then even an id that is only a member of the datareader role can view a diagram (but not make changes) If they need to make changes they need to be db_owner.
