[pmwiki-users] Group security

After searching through all the documentation and the archives, I still
can't find (or, maybe I found it, but i can't get it to work) how to do
the kind of Group security that I want. It doesn't seem, to me, to be
all that onerous... Thanks in advance for any help.

I've created a couple of different groups, say, "ABC", "DEF" etc.

"DEF" needs to be a password-protected group... anyone with access to
this internal wiki should be able to get to anything in the wiki except
for the "DEF" group, unless authenticated.

I used the command:

http://internalwiki/PMWiki/pmwiki.php?n=DEF.GroupAttributes?action=attr

in order to set the group password, and that works. The first time
someone who knows the password access the DEF group, it asks for a
password. Once authenticated, that user can get to any page in the DEF
group.

However, someone who is not authenticated only has to do a search, and
once a DEF.something page is found, they can click on it and it will
display. This is not good.

I then put in to the config.php file:

$SearchPatterns['default'][] = '!^DEF\.!';
$SearchPatterns['all'][] = '!^DEF\.!';
$SearchPatterns['normal'][] = '!^DEF\.!';

and now NO ONE can do a search that results in pages from DEF. I want
someone who is authenticated to be able to do a search and find things
inside the DEF group, but no one else.

So, how do I do that?

It would also be nice to make sure that Recent Changes won't show DEF
pages unless authenticated.

Many thanks and, please be detailed since I'm only the content
administrator (and there isn't any other kind).
