I'm running a Small Business Server 2008 with Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 (WSS 3.0). I thought WSS was supposed to hide menu items for which the current logged in user don't have access? Apparently, all users can see all links, regardless of whether they have access.

This applies to both links to newly created sub-sites as well as document libraries/lists.

Is this expected behaviour, or is there a misconfiguration somewhere that causes the links to stay visible even for users without access?

Thanks!
