Password protect only selected content on public confluence wiki

[Sebastian]

I'm currently testing confluence with jira (both onDemand) for our relatively small academic institution. We do have the need to put websites up for lectures. Those websites usually contain some content that needs to be password protected, i.e. it is only available to students who actually take the course. How can I achieve this in confluence? In your answers, please consider that I'm not a web developer. I'm just checking out confluence (I so far have not even started on jira). I really like the it so far, but I need to find a simple fix for this somehow.

Could you please check if you have any error messages in your confluence log file that relate to this?

Also, please check to see what version of the "Advanced Macros" plugin you have installed, and if there are any upgrades available for it.
