Welcome to PmWiki!
There are 2 ways to have hidden sections, one is easy and convenient but
not very secure, the other is secure but somewhat less convenient.
The easy way is to use conditionals. In a page, you can have hidden
sections like this:
(:if auth admin:)
This only shows to admins.
(:ifend:)
The problem with this is, occasionally people might be able to see the
hidden parts if the actions "diff" and "source" are not sufficiently
protected, or if they have edit access to any page on the wiki like
WikiSandbox.
See:
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/ConditionalMarkup
The more secure way is to place the secret content in a separate page,
protect that page against reading, and include the page (or sections of
it) into the public page.
In a public page, you can have:
(:include PrivatePage#section1:)
or:
(:include PrivateGroup.AnyPage#section1:)
For people with read access to the remote page, this "include" directive
will be expanded to the text of the other page or section.
For people without read access to the remote page, the directive will be
empty/blank.
How to include pages or sections, see:
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/IncludeOtherPages
How to password-protect pages, see:
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Passwords
In any case, you should test your pages with and without admin access to
make sure it works as you intended.

I'm new to pmwiki and using wikis in general. I've set up a pmwiki for
a roleplaying group I run to log the details of their adventures and
the world we are creating. What I'd like to be able to do is set it up
so if I log in with my admin username I can see everything, but if the
others log in with a different username, some portions of the text on a
page are hidden from them. Is this possible, and if so, how do I go
about it?
Many thanks,
Ben
