I don't know Prosody but I can help in XMPP specs to find (just search for namespaces in Prosody code).

However you are asking for 3/4 differents task

1) Restrict to "given set of users": if Prosody has Groups, you can add any number of groups to your groupchat

2) About password: while creating a groupchat you can set as configuration:

"muc#roomconfig_passwordprotectedroom" -> true
"muc#roomconfig_roomsecret" -> "mypassword"

3) About restricted join: while creating (or updating of course) a groupchat configuration, you have to set:

"muc#roomconfig_membersonly" -> true;

and while you are inviting an user you have to: 1) grantVoice (it's optional but some implementations can require it) 2) grantMembership or something you like in "XEP-0045: Multi-User-Chat - 5.1 Roles"

Not all specs are supported by servers so you need to check what Prosody supports and how, but searching for namespaces make search shorter ;)

No need to use passwords, just make room "members only" - only people who get invite can access that room
