Not really sure if this is an answer, and I’ve not even tried this, but:
// exclude Groups like PmWiki, Main, etc.
if ( ! in_array($Group, array($SiteGroup, $SiteAdminGroup, 'PmWiki',
$DefaultGroup ) {
$group = strtolower($Group); // to refer to AuthUser group associated with
PmWiki Group?
$DefaultPasswords['read'] = array("@$group", 'id:admin'); // restrict to
group and admin. Interpolate?
}
I think you’ll want the AuthUser group here, so down case the PmWIki Group.
Also, I think you want that interpolated immediately in the assignment for
DefaultPasswords, no?
Also, the in_array thingie for checking might be a touch more robust using the
variables…
Again, just off the cuff, not tried it.
