I just read on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188283.aspx

The SQLAgentReaderRole and the SQLAgentOperatorRole are automatically members of the SQLAgentUserRole.

Should I deny permission on SQLAgentReaderRole and the SQLAgentOperatorRole as well?
See what the DBA's say. If they arent bothered about then dont worry.
