I consider UpdatePage, ReadPage as low level functions in PmWIki.
Before updating or writing to page you could check auth validity by using 
RetrieveAuthPage and if things are as required.. then updatepage.

Alternative would be writing a UpdateAuthPage function.
Functions in http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Toolbox
could be a help.
