In config.php:

I'm not sure what this means, but on Site.NotifyList you can do

    # notify bob at example.com of any changes to the home page
    notify=bob at example.com name=Main.HomePage

You can set a read password on any page using ?action=attr .

There are multiple approaches.

If you are using the default skin (or any of several others with
similar behavior) you can create a GroupName.SideBar page and it will
be used instead of Site.SideBar for the GroupName group.
