My comments and from others can be found in this recent thread of the
same flavor:

TWiki is the one I have the most experience with.  It has permissions
capabilities that you probably could map to what you describe.

One important thing I have found with wikis:  All the wiki engines I
have looked at are designed to display your information online.  "Well,
duh" may be your first reaction but that means if you have people who
like to print everything to paper or want to print everything to paper,
it will not come out as polished as a document prepared in a word
processor.  I do not count that as a fault of wikis, it is just an
observation based on experience.  Some people seem to want to print a
wiki topic and expect logical page breaks and other things that you just
don't get when printing from a web browser.
