File Permissions behavior for res-admin role

Hi All,

Need some confirmation and advise on the below. I have some files created in my home directory. Where ab12cd is my id and file.txt is the content file. I had modified the file permissions to 711, that's rwx for myself and just x for groups and others.

Meaning I would have read/write/execute permissions on the file and others would just have execute permissions alone.

eg: 
pwd
/home/ab12cd/
chmod 711 file.txt

But when I logged with another id xy12xy which is a resource admin account, I'm still able to read the file.

eg: 
pwd
/home/xy12xy/
cat file.txt
Hello

When I tested the same on normal linux machines its working fine. Is it to do with the resource-admin privileges. Any insight will be helpful.
