 Considering the simplest plugin code that saves some text on database (see
 sample attached).

 Login with your ADMIN username, and you will be able to save those
 settings to database.

 Now login with any EDITOR level user, and try to save the settings.
 You will get the message "Cheatin’ uh?" on yourdomain.com/wp-
 admin/options.php

 Also noticed that the level 5 was defined so editors should be able to
 save that with no problems at all.

 Tested up to 2.8.1 beta2
