[dokuwiki] Accessing an admin-type plugin without having to log in

Heya everybody,

I've got a little problem with a plugin (only used on site atm, since it's too 
specialized to make sense to distribute) I wrote...
Case is, I wrote it as an Admin plugin, but now its functionality needs to be 
used without having to log in first. It should be accessible via a simple URL 
call, the plugin itself supports being called by URL already, but only if the 
user has logged in first.

So I see two possible solutions:

Either to log in as an admin via a simple URL call, too,
or to make the plugin be publicly accessible (the whole wiki is IP-locked via 
htaccess anyways)

Now, I didn't find any way to make the first idea work (or is there any?), and 
I didn't find a plugin type to duplicate the admin plugin behavior without 
requiring the user to be logged in to access it. Is there such a thing, or can 
an admin plugin be set up to allow this?

I hope I described my problem understandably, I'm no native speaker ;)

Thanks in advance for your answers,

Johann
