Rights

When scanning the project, the cross-reference searches for uses of rights in the design area of the client project or the single project, e.g. in the AuthorisationRight property of the controls. For each use, the cross-reference checks whether the respective right has been defined and, conversely, whether a defined right has been used.

Figure 1: Responsibility of the respective cross-reference for client-server projects and single projects

Legend:

The analysis is performed by the cross-reference of the client project. The starting point of the arrow indicates the source of the definition, the tip of the arrow indicates the use of the definition.

In a single project, there is only one cross-reference. The starting point of the arrow indicates the source of the definition, the tip of the arrow indicates the use of the definition.

After scanning the project, the results are displayed in a table in the Rights view in the Cross-reference node of the respective project.

The table contains the following columns:

Law

Specifies the name of the right.

Status

Indicates the status of use: either Correct, Warning or Error.

Status Description

Detailed information on the status.

Status Description	Description of the	Status
Correct	The use of the definition is error-free.	Correct
Defined, but no use found	The right has been defined but not used. Important: If the cross-reference is not used for a right, this does not mean that the definition is superfluous and can be deleted for the following reasons: The right may have been used in the code. In Modern UI and Web UI projects, however, code files(*.cs, *.vb, *.js) are not analysed by the cross-reference. In Classic UI projects, the cross-reference analyses the code files (*.cs, *.vb), but not all code constructs can be interpreted. If rights names are only obtained at runtime, e.g. from a data source, these rights cannot be recognised by the cross-reference. Therefore, before you delete a right, check whether it is used in the code.	Warning
Used, but not defined	The right was used, but no definition of this right was found. The control element in which this right is used is not enabled at runtime.	Error

System

The Design entry means that the definition is used in the design area.

Used in

Specifies the relative path of the form (Classic UI), view (Modern UI) or page (Web UI) where the right is used.
