...with the same name as the WikiGroup (not the user group). If the user goes 
to a page [[Tyrus.HomePage]] and the user name is Tyrus, he can edit the page.

You can put   @group123   instead of @lock in the ?action=attr form to allow 
only users assigned to the user group "group123" to edit the page.
