None that I know of that is easily implemented. 
For example, this is the method that clears all the cache after an Event is
catched:

    private void clear(CmsObject cms) {
        if (! isEnabled()) {
            return;
        }
        if (! isAdmin(cms)) {
            return;
        }
        if (DEBUG > 0) {
            System.err.println("FlexCache: Clearing complete cache");
        }
        clear();
    }
    

As you can see, Admin permissions are required even at that level. 

Best Regards,
Alex.
