I suspect you are also ending up with the group in the Items
MUTATE_META or the parent collections "COLLECTION_NNN_ADMIN"
permissions. These would allow that group to edit the metadata as
well. Check the Policies in the Collection Edit view or the Item Edit
view to see which groups map to which policies/actions.  If you post
what you find here, someone may be able to tell you if this is the
case.
