Hi,

(sorry for my poor english... I speak french...;-) )

I have actually a wiki where the users are members of different groups. Some
groups are able to read, some others to read/write, etc...

My wiki is divided in categories. One of them is a kind of mini-portal for a
specific group. This category is accessed usually by a specific user (a
generic user) that all the group uses.

I have receive today a request : is it possible for this generic user to
view ONLY the pages in ONLY one category ? 

Example : if I have Category A, Category B and Category C, is it possible
for this generic user to access only Category C, and never Category A and
Category B ? If in a page of Category C there is a link to a page in
Category A, he should receive an error, or an access denied message,
something like that...

Is it possible ? Some ideas ?

Thanks in advance !
