"Wiki is a great software, but we need more than this."
Your tone indicates that you expect us to code to meet the needs of your company. That's not the case; MediaWiki is developed to serve the needs of the Wikimedia Foundation and it's web sites, not the third parties which use it. It is made available under the GPL in the hope that it will be useful, but it is not guaranteed to be useful for every situation.
There are, I believe, plenty of other document management solutions out there if you want something more sophisticated that this. You have to understand that MediaWiki *is* designed for Wikimedia, and Wikimedia is about making information available, not locking it up, so preventing read access to articles isn't something the software is ever likely to do.

As a more flexible way of granting special permissions (previously there was a hard-coded "sysop" group and later also "bureaucrat") - things like protecting a page, one-click reverts, acessing certain special pages, blocking and unblocking users, deleting and undeleting pages, etc. Nothing to do with restricting access to different pages.
