[pmwiki-users] password 'override' order

[jf at tap3x.net]

I'm new at pmWiki, so please bear with me. I've set up a pmWiki 
site, and everything seems to be working well. But I am confused 
about how the various types of passwords work with respect to each 
other. In the documentation it says 'In PmWiki, page passwords 
override group passwords, group passwords override the default 
passwords, and the admin password overrides all passwords.'
I schematize that like this: adminpass > pagepass > grouppass > 
defaultpass, with ">" meaning "override". But I'm not exactly sure 
what override means in this context. 

I have set an adminpass, and also set grouppass1, and pagepass1 
for page1 and the group (group1) that it is in. Therefore, with 
adminpass, I am permitted to edit page1, and with pagepass1 I can 
also get into edit page1. But with grouppass1, I cannot. Is this how 
things work, or have I done something wrong?

What I want to be able to do, in other words, is the following:
1) allow certain people in to edit certain pages (using the respective 
pagepass for each page); 2) edit anything I want, and set attributes 
using adminpass; and 3) give one person in each group (to whom I 
don't want to give the adminpass) one group password - the 
respective grouppass for her/his group - which will allow her/him all 
the pages in that group with one password. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Jack
