Actually when we set a no access permission on a layer definition for a given user and we open the map referencing this layer (using the same user ) we got this message :

Permission denied to resource:
Library://Samples/Sheboygan/Layers/Districts.LayerDefinition

And, when this happens the user gets no map at all, only the error message. What _should_ happen is that the server should log the error message but send the map with all other valid layers to the user with no indication of the "missing" layer(s). The current system leaks potentially sensitive information (the layer names of restricted layers) to the user.

I too expected to be able to just assign permissions to the layers (or any other object) and have the server transparently return only what was permitted for that user. Perhaps we need to submit an enhancement request? although I tend to think of the current behavior as a bug.
