Cases does not show up a related object for Account through describeSObject

In our rails app, we are using the describeSObject ("get metadata") to retrieve sObject definitions.

For most SFDC customers, the "Account" sObject shows a reference to "Case" as a child / related object.

But for a small subset of customers that we connect to, their "Account" sObject does NOT show "Case" as a child /related object.

Does anyone konw how a SFDC customer can "configure this relationship away? I've looked at the Set Up pages and don't see how I can remove this relationship given that Accounts and Cases are both standard SFDC objects.

Thanks.

You can remove access to cases from the users profile.

Thanks Simon.
 
I assume you mean by going to Personal Setup | Change My Display?
 
I go there and Account has Cases in the Related List. And when I navigate to the Accounts tab, I do see Cases in the display.
 
Does changing the "display" also control what shows up in the API describeSObject() call?
 
Thanks.
