I use a PmWiki farms to completely isolate different sets of users 
from each other. Each set of users has their own field and some of 
those fields are password protected, while others are not.

Depending on your requirements, this may be a good way to go, but the 
other mechanism in PmWiki that accommodates different sets of users 
is Wiki Groups. Everybody uses the same wiki (or field), but has 
their own group. Groups have the big advantage that they are visible 
to each other. You can still control access via passwords if you need to.
