Yes. Anyone who logs on locally for instance is a member of the
authenticated users group which is a member of the users group. Use the "
net localgroup users " to see that and use the gpresult support tool to see
all the groups that a user is a member of. Always be extremely carefully
when configuring deny user rights when adding the users or everyone groups.
