In the original password system, there were no userIDs, just passwords.

AuthUser is for registering users and their passwords, and assigning 
them to user-groups. It doesn't allow or prevent them to do anything.

Wherever you would have entered Carlos's password, you can enter 
id:Carlos. Or @GroupContainingCarlos.

To allow / deny access to a page, you need to use ?action=attr for that 
page. If all the pages are in the same group, you can do it via 
?action=attr on the page GroupName.GroupAttributes. Note that anything 
on the page ?action=attr over-rides the group one. Fully over-rides, as 
in if group gives Albert and Belinda permission, but page only gives 
Albert permission, then Belinda loses it for that page.

http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/AuthTable is useful to double-check what 
you end up with.

Hope this helps!
