[Mediawiki-l] MediWiki ACL

HI,

I need some help in setting up access control list for users. What i am
trying to implement is a bit more than what MediaWiki 1.5.3 supports.

Our company has a number of different business units, each of which wants to
have its own restricted area on the wiki that is only accessible by the
users in that specific business unit.

What i need to implement is as follows:

Groups - each group has a number of people in it ( this i have done)

Then i want to create pages that belong to a group and if the pages are
restricted then they are only visible to the members of the group and
restricted to other users.

I have managed to create namespaces for the differnet business units we have
and have done groups for each business unit. But i do not know how to
restrict pages of a name space to a certain group only???

Anyone done anything similar? or have any ideas of how i can implement this?

thanks
