Creating a servlet outside of admin space

Dear Atlassian Community,

We created a plugin and we’re extending it’s capabilities by adding a new page which will be used to query an external API for some data to display. Right now the page is in “/plugin/servlet” which unfortunately is admin-access only; we want it configured in such way, that it’s in public space, makes it accessible by all regular users.

I’m providing the servlet’s definition (see below) as well as a screenshot of the page in question (indication’s of admin section marked in red).

<servlet class="..." key="similartickets" name="Similar Tickets">
    <url-pattern>/similartickets/search</url-pattern>
</servlet>

We’re open to any suggestions.
