To set password protection for an entire group, you need to edit the group's
GroupAttributes page using ?action=attr, and set the passwords you want. In
the cases you gave, you want to surf to

  /Administration/GroupAttributes?action=attr

and set the various passwords to '@office' for editing, reading and whatever
else you want restricted to members of the office group. Similarly, you need
to surf to

  /Mgnt/GroupAttributes?action=attr

And set a password of '@management' for all actions that you want to restrict
to members of the management group.
