(I'm assuming tiki_p_admin_wiki includes permissions for page editing, removing, rolling back, and so on; seems like in my own cases, I assigned these things individually but I guess tiki_p_admin_wiki covers them all).

Gary,
I'm also waiting on Colorado comments to see his side of the story. Meanwhile, I have also tested out your method.
Its not really working to my expectation yet...One thing you miss to mention is what kind of permission is to be assigned to users A, B, C and D. For me, I have assigned Editors rights to all the users A, B, C and D. This would mean all would have access rights to all the pages even though I assign group permission to the pages.
So what permission should I be assigning to users A, B, C and D?? Should I assign them as Registered users - if yes, so when I assign tiki_p_admin_wiki to users A and B, will users A and B inherit this rights only in the fish page or from then on?? Very confusing now.....
One thing I like about Colorado's method is his idea of inheritance from category (pending his confirmation), this would save a lot of trouble to remember assigning permission on every page that is spun off from the same categoty.
Hope you can shed some light here...Thanks.
