Kerberos and Access Control

Inside of a single realm, does Kerberos 5 support the notion of access
control?

For instance, if I define principles A, B, and C inside of a realm,
does Kerberos have a way of enforcing that A can set up a session with
B, but cannot set up a session with C? From reading through the krb5
source code, I get the impression that access control lists are not
part of MIT Kerberos, but something that applications have to layer on
themselves.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks in advance for help with this question,
bab
