Set your default read permissions to @nopass and your default edit attribute and upload permissions to your editors group (e.g. @Editors). For the site group end the URL with "?n=Site.GroupAttributes?action=attr" to set the group attributes for the Site group so that only the administrator(s) can edit in that group. That should do it.
