If you read-protect Site/RecentChanges, then on Site/SideBar, for
instance, you could have

* (:if auth read $Group/RecentChanges:)[[$Group/RecentChanges]](:if !
auth read $Group/RecentChanges:)[[GroupXY/RecentChanges]](:ifend:)

Which says if the current user has authorization to read the
RecentChanges page of the current group, then display a link to that
page.  Otherwise, display a link [[GroupXY/RecentChanges]].
