Hi,
I was just wondering if there is any way to protect access to some
pages.
This extension works for that. You can control access by adding a tag to
pages you want to hide from some readers.

Also, GroupWiki allows page by page protection. It is a modified version of
MediaWiki, not yet available as a patch:

I am running mediawiki 1.8.2
MySQL 5.0.27
PHP 5.1.6
I came across some inputs on mentioning the permissions on
LocalSettings.php. for example $wgGroupPermissions['group1']['read']
= false;
I have given permissions in this manner. I am now getting the group
'group1' in the user rights assignment page. I can also add a user to
this page, but the rights are not being enforced. Other than read, I had
mentioned, 'cannot create a new page', 'edit' permissions to false.
However the user did not face any access problems whatsoever.
Please tell me if the methodology I am using is alright.
Best regards,
