If it is for groups of people then why not use http authentication to
protect the entire installation. I haven't looked at v1.3.x yet but I
can't see why you couldn't have multiple mediawiki installations that
share the same user table in one database but store all of their page
data in different databases. It has been a month or two since I looked
at the database design in detail though.
