If only it was that simple, it's not a straight this-person has access. 
It's more this group has read to all these pages, but only read-write 
to subset. While another group also has read to a set of pages and 
read-write to a sub-set which differs from the first group of users. 
Not a good explanation, but I think you know what I mean. I'd prefer to 
give everyone r/w access to all of it as I think most employees can be 
trusted and quiet a few will have something to contribute that is of 
value. This won't fly though.

May be I'm missing something and this is possible through apaches acls.
