I'm puzzled by code like

if (NSurveyUser.Identity.IsAdmin ||
              NSurveyUser.HasRight(right))

why isn't that first line `NSurveyUser.HasRight("admin")`?  Is there some distinction I don't see or is it just historical?

Hello,

They are indeed distinct.
- IsAdmin checks if useraccount has SP adminstrator role (complete authorisation to everything)
- HasRight (right) checks the individual rolerights that give access to specific features/ menu options

(Btw sorry for the late reponse).
Kind regards,
