I probably did mean the  types that the acting subject could remove - 
needed for the EditGroup page, however, some one with Admin for the Group 
should be able to remove a type even if they don`t have root privilege

Another use I have is when editing attributes. Here I guess I need a method 
`getCustomTypes`, which would return all types except base.

If you can make these changes `soon` I`ll update the UI to use them, 
otherwise I can work around them for the time being
