Bingo. :)

There is some limited ability to mark individual pages as protected, requiring
additional privileges to edit them. There is not support for multiple different
protection groups, ACLs, or view restrictions beyond a simple 'everybody can see
/ no one can see without login'.

If you require that kind of restrictions, MediaWiki is not for you. I recommend
using software that is designed for that security model from the ground up.
