action
String specifying the action for which authorization is requested. Do not specify
this parameter for COMPONENT and CUSTOMTAG. For all other resource types,
this parameter is required.
Usage
The IsProtected function only returns true if the resource is protected by a rule in the
security context or sandbox within which a request is being processed. An application
may need to determine if a resource is protected and if the current user is authorized
to use the resource. If a resource is not protected, then the
IsAuthorized function
returns true. In order to determine if a resource is explicitly protected with a rule, you
must use the IsProtected function.
Example
