That isn't correct thinking.  That point in the RFC is attempting to
make sure that a user doesn't try to receive a encrypted packet (for
example) when it doesn't support an encryption protocol (IE, if none
was configured for it).

It is not trying to imply policy with what level of protection a
packet must have to arrive for that user.  That's the job of the VACM.
