[TYPO3-dam] Manually indexing files from own extension without BE-user

I currently try the same. The correct english error-message is:
---------
Attempt to insert record on page 'Media' (1) where this table, tx_dam, is not allowed (msg#1.1.11)
---------

> When I'm logged into the backend, it works without problems.

In my case it doesn't even work when I'm logged in as admin user :(
Is there any possibility to index files from FE.
