We make use of Page Security [0] to handle this issue. I'm honestly not sure how secure it is since I've never checked, but it is good enough to keep the lay user from seeing things, which is really all we needed in our case. I ported it to 1.18.1 when we began to use it. There is a link to the port on the talk page. >This approach has a weakness because there is no explicit inheritance.

For us what they have to do is add the page to a certain category, for example if the page is to only be viewable by the HR department, they might add [[Category:HR]] to the page. So while the inheritance issue is still a problem at the very least it organizes the content as well.
