== 1. Introduction ==
GroupsAdministration extension is a generic extension for managing user groups. Any user
can be added or removed from specified group.
PrefixAdministration extension is advanced extension where page prefixes can be
defined.
Example: pagename=Main_page, pageprefix=Main
When page prefix is defined nothing is really done with security because there
is no user or group defined for this prefix. After user or group is added to
specified page prefix then read & edit permission can be set.
If user is not allowed to edit then edit page will be unavailable.
If user is not allowed to read then will be promted for login or the page could not be seen.
