Is there a way to do a sort of pattern-match for authorization levels? To explain: I administer a wiki (which uses AuthUser), where for most groups, anyone who is a user can edit any page. I also have it set up so that every page can have an associated -Discuss page, which is just a normal page (like -Talk pages in the Cookbook) which users can edit in order to add discussion about the "base" page.
What I need to be able to do is lock down the editing of one particular group, let's call it Q, so that normal pages can only be edited by a specific group of users, BUT the -Discuss pages should be able to be edited by any user (that is, "id:*"). Yes, the obvious solution is to make an associated Q-Discuss group, but that would mess up things that depend on the existing system (that discussion pages are pages that end with -Discuss). And it is not feasible to change the permissions on every individual -Discuss page in that group (nor is it feasible to change the permisions in every individual NON-Discuss page in that group). Do not suggest ZAP or Fox; this wiki is using PmWiki 2.1.27; I am not authorized to upgrade to 2.2 until it passes out of beta, and my understanding is that both Fox and ZAP require version 2.2.
