Cannot edit user permissions in Sharepoint 2007. Limited is greyed - Sharepoint

Scott,

Limited Access cannot be adjusted as a permission. Basically, Limited Access
means you have been given explicit rights to either a sub-site, library, or
item somewhere else on the site. The Limited Access is supposed to be your
indicator that this has happened.

There is no way of figuring out where you have been given explicit rights --
you have to hunt and peck.

Good luck!

I have another pice of information that might be related. When I use
Sharepoint Designer 2007 in an atemp to import a site I am getting an error
message saying

"No read/write access to import location"

Does that help in determining where permissions are jacked?
