I'm sorry, I was not too specific I see.
By "users" I meant the individual users you define in 
SiteAdmin.AuthUser.
And by "groups" I meant the groups of users you also define in 
SiteAdmin.AuthUser.

sti at pooq.com gave a good explabation on how to use user ids and user 
groups to lock down entier groups of pages.
You use the same method to lock down individual pages:
For instance
Main.HomePage?action=attr
You can use @usergroups and/or id:usernames in addition to passwords.

Best regards :o)
