SYMPTOMS

If you deny a user Read and Write permissions to "Remote Access" for a user object, but that user is a member of a group that has Full Control permissions, the user is given Full Control permissions for gaining access to the Dial-In property sheet.

Additionally, if you deny a user only Read permission to "Remote Access," and the user is not a member of a group with Full Control permissions, the user can still read the information on the Dial-In property sheet.

CAUSE

The property sheet does not explicitly check the access rights of the user who performs the operation against the security set on the Active Directory object and the attributes that are being opened.
