The documentation only applies if VLF object authority is enabled.
VLF-ONEVLF-ONE uses a different authority implementation to VLF-WIN because it is web browser based.
In VLF-ONE if a user is not authorized to use an object then it does not exist in the current execution context.
So to test whether a user is authorized to an object you check whether it is available in the current execution context.
This is done by executing the method #avFrameworkManager. avCheckAvailability,
You need to pass the User Object Name / Type of the object as the UserObjectName() parameter.
The result is a Boolean named IsAvailable.
VLF-WINThe VLF services manager provides a facility to access the current user's authority to a nominated object. For example, this service can be used to help a component decide whether to enable or disable buttons or switches. It is available only to Windows applications.
In Windows applications the current user's authority to an object is retrieved using the avCheckUserAuthority method.
