We discussed a few months ago [1] how it should be moderately easy to make
the home page selectable on an individual wiki instance. Then this value
could potentially be set by the "multiple tools" functionality that exists
in Sakai.

But all of the wiki's would still have the same permissions in this case, as
mentioned. It it would be "interesting" if there was a way at the page level
(in the edit tools page) to make a pages & tools group aware in
site-manage/portal, so that only certain groups could have access and see
certain pages. Then you might be able to set up some kind of basiclti wiki
[2] for different people in your course. Something to think about, perhaps.
It seems like mostly be a security through obscurity though until the full
lti spec and security policies.
