Two ways to open a Revit file when working with Vault and Revit Server

Dear Vault users,
When working with Revit Server and Vault, the normal procedure to open a Revit working file is through Vault after proper authorization.
However, the same Revit file can also be opened directly from Revit Server by using Open command and selecting Revit Server as on the image below. This second way to open the Revit file is NOT authorised.

Is there any way under Vault to disable the possibility of accessing Revit files from Revit Server when Vault is installed?

Thanx Darren,

Somebody has definitely overlooked something... You have your nice authorization to access the model, but an obvious unauthorized backdoor is left. Do something about it Autodesk!
