[pmwiki-users] "Group together" different passwords

Hello,
is there a way to systematically group different passwords in a
password-based authorization system (i.e., not a user/password
combination system)?
Imagine this situation: I have a group of students who get the password
"studentpassword", some lecturers who get the "lecturerpassword" and
some guests who get the "guestpassword".
Now, I have a number of pages which should be editable by students and
by lecturers. Of course, I could simply set the attributes of these
pages/groups to "studentpassword, lecturerpassword". However, it would
be "nicer" to simply set a "universitypassword" and somewhere say that
this stands for either the "studentpassword" or the "lecturerpassword".
If I was to switch over to AuthUser, this would be easy. But I'd like to
preserve the advantage/simplicity of the simple password-based
authorization...
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Mike
