You probably want to start here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:User_rights
You probably want something like the following:
# only an administration can create an account
$wgGroupPermissions['WikiSysop' ]['createaccount'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = false;
# anyone can read the data...
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true;
# ...but only logged-in people can edit articles
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = false;
As you will probably discover, your last point is the most difficult to
achieve (at least for per page control).
Good luck!

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Using Mediawiki for a closed group, with closed
content
Hi there!
I have a test installation of Mediawiki, and would like to be able to
limit access to the wiki to a closed group of people. I need the
following:
* Usermanagement is handled by a moderator which creates new users and
assigns rights to them, or
* Registering to the wiki needs at least approval by an admin or
moderator
* The possibility to make content public or closed, for the whole wiki,
or per page, or depending on namespaces
I know these options are available in Dokuwiki, but I would like to try
out Mediawiki and see how this works. I think all of this is possible,
but I can't figure out how to do this.
I appreciate help on any of these issues!
Thanks,
Roger
