have you really tried this? i just did and got appropriate 'access denied',
'insufficient permissions held' etc on things i wouldn't expect to have
access to... and i am an admin on my local machine, but not on the domain.
if your users can do things you don't want them to you should look for the
settings that give them too many permissions.
