Problem:
While the Admin API is nice, it is basically unusable to anyone on a shared host, or someone writing code for OS apps where you can't be sure the end user will have Admin access. While many feautres in the Admin API make sense for admin level users, some of the features really should be exposed to the admin level. Here is a short, but probably not complete list, of APIs that a developer should have access to w/o needing Admin level access.
addDebugEvent
getCustomtagPaths
getMappings
getAvailableMailCharsets
clearTrustedCache (could be restricted by sandbox as to what you can clear)
clearComponentCache
stopApplication
getActiveSessionCount (can be restricted to current app)
getActiveSessions (ditto)
getLoggedInUserCount (ditto)
And so on.
