Issue/Request: 

Is it possible to restrict access to an entire section of a site by setting permissions on the root page of that section?

Yes you can do that. The Content Access Module allows you to restrict access based on the type of content. When we have done this, we have created a new Content Type and added the content for the restricted area with only that Content Type i.e. Create “Restricted” Content Type and set permissions so only authenticated users (CAS logged in people) to access that content type.

There’s more information on restricting various types of content here: Restricting Access to Pages and Files

Thanks, Nancy.
