I would try creating a group, adding these users to that group, and then 
setting up the rights there.  I have been able to eliminate the ability 
to modify at-a-glance by removing the "modify" self" right from the 
global group permissions.  Perhaps since you have to explicitly remove 
that right to override a default.   chris
