Q: Security Issue! Mac OSX 10.8 user on Windows Network

We recently set up a Mac user on our windows network at our business and have noticed that he has access to all of the server folders on the network no matter the permissions set. How are we able to set the same permissions to the Mac user that the PC users live by? We restrict many of the server folders to certain users.

Help is greatly appreciated as we have been unable to figure a solution.

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

How is the Mac user connecting to the Windows server? Via Finder by typing in smb://your.server.domain? If the Mac user tries connecting from a Windows machine, does his user have the correct permissions?
