Not to worry. We can check to see if HTTP Auth is available later. CGI Auth is definitely not. Both give you better protection against attacks on your site administration functions (specifically, admin.php) by requiring an additional user authentication (user ID and password) when someone attempts to access it.
Yes, you can limit access to different functions / modules to a specific (subscription) group at a later time by changing the modules, forums, etc. settings.
If you want to switch off the site via Sentinel to upgrade, that is fine. That is what is commonly done.
