The plugin action should have some reserved actions like

_on_install
_on_unistall
_configure
(what else)

That can only be called by the administrator and exposed via admin
only. The on_install for example could register a service with cron or
append translated string to a language file.
The plugin could be listed in admin with a button that says
[configure] and the plugin itself generates a configuration interface
depending on what it does like in this case.
