First of all, I would suggest that you very seriously consider the
approach of telling everyone "Don't edit this page unless you're in
Group X!" Wikis rely very heavily on "soft security", and there's not
necessarily any reason to institute hard restrictions:
http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?SoftSecurity
For example, on Wikipedia, all the core policy pages can be edited by
any (autoconfirmed) user. In practice, this means that people can fix
typos and tweak formatting without having to ask anyone for
permission. If someone makes an unreasonable change, someone else
reverts it, and if they continue they get blocked for vandalism.
However, if you do need this, use the "protect" feature:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Administration#Protection
You can add different protection levels using $wgRestrictionLevels, if
your user group needs to be "below" sysops:
