That controls permissions in the acl_users folder. You must change the 
permissions on the object you want to restrict or in one of its 
ancestors. Watch for permission inheritance.

For instance:

root
 - acl_users
 - eggplant
 - marshmellow
 - bagel

To restict content in marshmellow, use the security tab in /marshmellow 
to remove permissions, removing the inheritance too.
To restrict everything but eggplant, use the security tab in root to 
remove permissions, and add permissions in eggplant.
To allow additional access to bagel, go to bagel security and add 
permissions. To change access, deselect inheritance, and set your 
permissions.

Note how the permissions of acl_users never comes into play.
