Body: <p>Is there a way to allow a user to edit sections without making them site Admins? For example, I have a couple of users that I want to allow them to create new entry types within a Channel, but I don’t want them to be able to access the rest of the Settings section of the CP or do everything an Admin can do.</p>
  
  <p>I'm guessing this is something that will require a custom plugin, but is it possible to sidestep the admin permissions to create new entry types?</p>

  You would have to write a custom plugin that provided its own UI (outside of the Settings portion of the control panel) and that plugin's controller could mimic Craft's [SectionsController](https://craftcms.com/classreference/controllers/SectionsController) (with the exception of not requiring an admin) while calling SectionsService's [saveEntryType](https://craftcms.com/classreference/services/SectionsService#saveEntryType-detail).
  
  For security your plugin should also register a custom "canSaveEntryType" [permission](https://craftcms.com/docs/plugins/hooks-reference#registerUserPermissions) so you can have fine-grained control over who can call that method.
