Hello,

I have been requested to grant a specific group of users, access to one 
Namespace on an existing wiki (not currently using Namespace).

The complete request is:

- setup a group of user so that they can only access one Namespace/Group 
on wiki
- Add other Namespaces and assign the existing users accordingly

I am aware that all users can view the main Namespace; is there a way to 
prevent the group setup to view only one Namespace, from accessing the 
main Namespace? Is there a method of preventing user from even seeing 
menu selections?

Is it a big chore, or even advisable to move main pages to different 
Namespaces?

I have Namespaces & Group permissions setup on my test wiki, and it 
works fine.

One last question:
Is there a way of moving multiple pages to a Namespace?

Thanks.
