It looks like this call for help got buried in the group. I hope you're still with PmWiki. Yes, you will be able to have a wiki that a team can login and edit, and everyone can read. Many of us have done that, including me. To add an "allowed group" to a GroupAttributes page, you enter @UserGroupName or id:UserName instead of a password. When PmWiki was first developed, only passwords were used. AuthUser came about later. (Note to self, or anyone who tackles it first; this question is so common that the manual may need tweaking. The default text for action=attr should include it, too, now that AuthUser is part of the core.) You link UserName and Password on the Site.AuthUser page. (Note: I'm not sure where that page ended up after Site group got split.) You put people into groups on the same page. Search the documentation for $EnablePostAuthorRequired; you set it in config.php. I'm pretty sure it works for blog entries as well. I'm not sure what you mean by "recognize a user's windows login automatically". The default is that it remembers the user until the browser is closed (or browser session is ended). Details are on the site or in the mailing list archives.
