The FAST Data recipe works by setting the form action to data, so when
it is submitted, the recipe is called.

I thought I might be able to set Data as a password attribute on the
group attributes page, so where desired the recipe (action=data) could
be allowed only if the submitter did have the appropriate permissions.

Or better yet, disable the recipe everywhere like other actions (edit,
attr, read, admin, etc.) in config.php and only enable it on pages
where desired (where a form is) using page attributes. I don't really
like having to edit local config files and then do the ftp thing where
I can avoid it.
