Anyone; it is offered to the public

This page groups sacred objects by who is permitted to touch or move them. Wikipedia notes that the Council of Trent "enjoined bishops to instruct their flocks that 'the holy bodies of holy martyrs ... are to be venerated by the faithful,'" placing bishops in charge of how ordinary believers approach a relic. Browsing this way lets a visitor compare an object anyone may approach against one reserved for clergy alone.
