To add an ID or a group to a page (or group of pages), see here:

http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Passwords
and
http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PasswordsAdmin

You really should read those two pages; most of it may not apply, but it 
will get you going. The pages also discuss some advanced options which 
you may not need.

In a nutshell:

You go to the MyPage?action=attr , where MyPage is the URL for the page 
in question. That screen allows you to enter passwords to the page.

You enter the ID or the group in the same way you enter passwords, 
except you use the following format:
id:TheId
@TheGroup

The page "GroupName.GroupAttributes" adds passwords to the page group 
GroupName.

(Yes, Group can mean a group of users, or a group of pages.)

Passwords for the entire site should be set in config.php.
