 Hi,

 There's the great [http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_API/ Settings API]
 that really helps creating some option pages in site.
 Anyway, the API must use the options.php on the form's action on order to
 work.
 That means that only admins (or users with manage_option capability) can
 save options to these pages.
 It would be great letting users with other capabilities to save such
 option pages, but without them having full access to whole options of the
 site.
 It would be great enhancement to the Settings API if could assign who can
 save custom option page without need to have full manage_options
 capability.
