Please set up the ability to restrict access by password to articles in the knowledge base/categories.

This would allow for users to create internal knowledge bases that would not be public facing. It gets around having to custom code a webpage so that the hierarchy of categories/articles is easy for users to find. It would also make this more competitive with the other products on the market like zendesk et al. who already have this functionality.
