How do I modify Dock

I have created an Open Directory network. All users login with their network accounts. Their home directories are on the OD server. When a user logs in they can not change the icons on the dock. They can add programs and they can remove the ones they add, however they can not remove the default ones IE.. mail, photobooth, ical etc...

Can not just drag off, and they keyboard shortcuts do not work either (hold shift while dragging) could not drag to trash either.

How or what do i do/change to allow users to modify their own dock?

Since the article tells you how to stop them, I would assume that the opposite would be true? Since I am trying to allow users to modify their dock.

I have left the settings to default which would imply that the users should be able to modify their dock, since the box is checked, and even when i select "Always" I left the box checked to allow for users to modify their dock. However this does not work. They can add to or remove ONLY what they add. Still can not remove default icons.

I had to use the "partially" because I have not needed to address this issue yet, and the director wants to leave it this way for now. I will be re-addressing it at a later time.
