Kerberos delegation - implications for Active Directory security in general

$

As far as I can see, there are none - assuming both the end-user and the service account do not have excessive permissions.

All the same, and since we may implement this, I was asked to investigate and thought I would seek confirmation here.

As I understand it, Kerberos delegation would come into play in a scenario where application XYZ on front-end server A can use the credentials of end-user Bob (or of other users) to access a resource (a SQL database, for example) on back-end server B.

This is achieved by having the application run under a service account for which delegation is enabled.

Unless the end-user or service account had excessive permissions (membership in domain admins group or something like that), this should have no effect on security in general, correct?
