 * Is it possible to allow an Editor role to adjust widgets?

 * Role should have the ‘edit_theme_options’ capability to allow its owner work 
   with widgets.
    At the begin of widgets.php we can see
 *     ```
       if ( ! current_user_can('edit_theme_options') )
       	wp_die( __( 'Cheatin’ uh?' ));
       ```
   
 * But be aware that having such capability user can execute the arbitrary code 
   on your site and get administrator rights easily. You should trust such user.
