Usage Rights are applied to a PDF by encrypting the PDF using a private
key that is private to Adobe. There is no other company (and a fortiori
NO THIRD PARTY tool) that is allowed to use this private key.

Most of the questions concerning Usage Rights will be answered with
the same answer: buy Adobe software.

That's a very accurate message, isn't it? Nothing scary about it.
It just tells you what happened.

iText doesn't do anything with Usage Rights, for the reason explained 
above. You won't find any non Adobe software that is able to 
"manipulate" usage rights.

You could remove them using the method removeUsageRights().
