I should add that setting $HandleAuth['convert'] is entirely
optional, and in the example you give does do nothing.

Setting

   $HandleAuth['convert'] = 'admin';

for instance will result that 'admin' is passed as default
authorisation level to the HandleConvert function via the second
parameter $auth, so $auth will become 'admin'.
But the function needs to exploit this with for instance

   $old = RetrieveAuthPage($pagename, $auth);

only then will the 'convert' action be restricted to users with admin
authorisation, and not others (others will get a login prompt in this
case).
