Forgive me for jumping in.  I agree you can remove rights from accounts.  
However, I don't believe you'll be very successful trying to block any 
account with Supervisor rights to the file server object.  Seems to me, if 
you have Supervisor rights to the file server object, you automatically gain 
supervisory rights to every file that the file server contains. And these 
rights cannot be blocked.
