Slap them firmly on the wrist if they do? The Solr admin is really designed with trusted users in mind. There are no provisions that I know of for securing some of the functions.
Your developers have access to the Solr server through the browser, right? They can do all of that via URL, see: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin, they don't need to use the admin server at all. So unless you're willing to put a lot of effort into it, I don't think you really can lock it down. If you really don't trust them to not do bad things, set up a dev environment and lock them out of your production servers totally?
