Page Group Security API

Question

Hi,
I'm looking for an API, or something, that will allow me to change the access properties of a page or page group. I need to be able to remove access to a page group with a script. Is this possible? I've looked at the documented APIs but do not see one to do this. Maybe I'm overlooking something.
Thanks in advance.

Ok,
As I also mentioned you could use wwsec_api:
* Removes a group's privileges.
* <p>Call this API to perform one of three possible operations:
* <ul>
* <li>If NULL or nothing is passed into the p_privilege parameter,
* then all privileges for the given group, object_type_name,
* and name are removed.
* <li>If a value is passed into p_privilege, the specified privilege is
* removed.
* <li>If group_id is null, the privilege is removed for all groups.
* </ul>
* <p><b>Example:</b>
* <pre>
* wwsec_api.remove_group_acl(
* p_object_type_name => wwsec_api.PAGE_OBJ,
* p_name => '0/156',
* p_group_id => 3,
* p_privilege => wwsec_api.MANAGE_PRIV
* </pre>
* @param p_object_type_name the type of object, e.g., ADMIN, FOLDER,
* ITEM, etc.
* @param p_name the reference to the object
* @param p_group_id the portal's identifier for a group
* @param p_privilege the privilege to be granted. this should
* exist in WWSEC_PRIVILEGE$
* @param p_owner the owner of the ACL entry
* @param p_disable_invalidations controls whether cache invalidations
* are disabled when removing the group ACL
* Removes a specified privilege from a user.
* Removes all privileges for a given user, object_type_name, and name if
* null or if nothing is passed into p_privilege. If p_privilege is
* specified and p_person_id is null, this procedure removes the specified
* privilege for all persons.
* <p><b>Example:</b>
* <pre>
* wwsec_api.remove_user_acl(
* p_object_type_name => wwsec_api.GROUP_OBJ,
* p_name => '0/156',
* p_person_id => 3,
* p_privilege => wwsec_api.MANAGE_PRIV
* </pre>
* @param p_person_id the portal's identifier for a user
* @param p_object_type_name - the type of secured object, referenced by
* the security API constants that end with '_OBJ'. For example,
* wwsec_api.GROUP_OBJ, wwsec_api.PAGE_OBJ, etc.
* @param p_name the reference to the object
* @param p_privilege the privilege to be granted. this should
* exist in WWSEC_PRIVILEGE$
* @param p_owner the owner of the ACL entry, used for avoiding
* namespace collisions
* @param p_disable_invalidations controls whether cache invalidations
* are disabled when setting the user ACL
Hope this helps,
