Confluence database: cannot copy values with view rights

How can I allow users with read-only (view) rights to copy-paste values from my database cells? 

Use-case: Data in the database can only be added/edited by a few people in order to guarantee data quality. However, other teams should be able to consult and use this data; they should be able to copy values without being able to edit the data in the database.

Currently, the only workaround I found was to export the database to an CSV, however, as tags are used (and these are also comma-separated in the file) their is no delimiter that can be used to retrieve the data in a logic way. Moreover, when exporting, some special characters get lost as well, e.g., "é" is exported as "é". 

Can a copy functionality be added? Or is there a workaround to fix this issue (without having to give everyone edit-rights)?
