I think it just means:
   Resource limitations by means of administrative restrictions

I would suggest:
   At the moment, imposition of access controls is done by means outside
   the scope of the LDAP protocol.

be reworded:
   The imposition of access control and administrative restrictions
   are outside the scope of this document.
