Minimum required NTFS permissions for roaming profiles

Question

A earlier question links to this Microsoft document about roaming profile permissions. I want to know if you can lock the permissions down even further then what is recommended. Do I really have to give users full control? A couple comments in the earlier question suggested that Microsoft was being more generous with access then what was really needed.

I can't comment on 2K8 but on prior versions my users never have full control and have never experienced an issue because of it.

Users need "change" permissions on the roaming profile folders located on the file server.

Change permissions are defined like this:
