All "Admin" users not identical?

It is my understanding that the internal ID of the built-in "Admin" user is
the same accross all installations of Access and that by eliminating all
rights of this user is what enables security to be implemented and prevents
just any old user from getting in.  This is fundemental to the entire Access
securty mechanism since the default login is for the Admin user.

So I eliminated all rights of this user in my database only to find that
other users (using the workgroup file installed on their local machines) were
able to get into the database.  Obviously the Admin user for which I
eliminated all rights is not the same Admin user that others are using to get
into the database.  

What am I missing?

Did you also eliminate all rights to the Users group?  That is also identical in
all workgroup files.

Did you make sure Admin does not own anything?  Owners have rights even when the
don't have permissions.
