[IPT] Functionality request: ADMIN checking data before GBIF registration

  Both of these suggestions will probably work fine. But controlling 
things at the registry as Dag suggest might be more powerful.  I just 
want to be able to check in advance what resources gets listed on Data 
Portal for our institution.  Blocking publishing at IPT may not achieve 
this, if there are multiple servers, like there is.
