I've often taken advantage of the fact that pagelist results only
display pages for which the reader has been shown to have
read-authorization.  Using this, you can set up a page with something
like

(:if ! enabled AuthPw:)[[{$Name}?action=login | Please login
here]]+](:if enabled AuthPw:)You have subscribed to read the
following:(:if:)

(:if auth admin:)
->(:pagelist fmt=#group list=all:)
(:if !auth admin:)
->(:pagelist fmt=#group group=-Main,-Site,-PmWiki:)(:if:)
