    Note: You have to set the Behavior if the user in Group with filter and without filter.

Thanks for the assistance.  It's definitely not as straight forward as one would think.  To add a bit more for anyone reading this, when adding back the security, you need to use all the dimensions in each row of the DACS.

This doesn't work:
Remove UD1 from everyone.
Remove UD2 from everyone.
Remove UD3 from everyone.
Add back all UD2 to a group that the user is in.
Add back specific parts of UD1 and UD3 to a group the user is in.

This works:
Remove UD1 from everyone.
Remove UD2 from everyone.
Remove UD3 from everyone.
Add back specific parts of UD1 and UD3 plus all UD2 to a group the user is in.
