Logging into a site logs you into everything. There's no separate signing in for each page on your wiki. Once your clients are signed in, they're good to go! Do you find this valuable?

What is needed is to create two other wikis : 1 for your clients and 1 for your employees. From the main site create a link to the client wiki (public wiki) and a link to the employee's wiki (private). Each would have a different set of pages. The employee wiki would only be able to be viewed by registered employees and no one else.

There is no option to direct logins to specific pages within a single wiki.

Or you can always use un-categorized pages (pages that are not in the navigation), not tag them, and then type the URL in the URL text box on your browser.

Just tell the workers not to tell anyone the URL and no one should be able to find them.

-wes615, thanks for the great question!

Yeah, you just got to place the URL in your favorites so you remember.

The only problem is when you edit the page, it will show up under "Updates." Then anybody can click on the link and go to the page.
