Unwanted Permissions in System User Role - AX 2012

On the Kaya blog, Microsoft MVP André Arnaud de Calavon tells us that a while back he stumbled across an issue where the users in Dynamics AX 2012 were able to modify records even when, according to the security roles, they should have had read rights only. He says since that time many people have also experienced the issue and more people will continue to run into this problem in the future. He writes:
