There are two ways of referencing user rights:
Directly in the data of CpStudio, e.g. at manual functions
In the View designer at the Authorization properties
It is easy to find the usages of the first kind:
In CpStudio, open View --> Data by category --> User management
Select the right
Press F11
If nothing happens, the right is not referenced anywhere.
If it is referenced in exactly one place, CpStudio will navigate there directly.
If there is more than one usage, a dialog will pop up showing all usages
The usages in the HMI views cannot be found that easily, but it should work this way:
Search all sfc files in the subfolders of Station\Hmi\SmartForms for Right="EditData104" (e.g. using notepad++, Find in files...)
Unfortunately, it is not easy to find out which object the views belong to (unless the view name gives you a hint), because the containing folder does not have a readable name but a GUID instead. But you can find out what object the GUID corresponds with.
Open the file Station\Hmi\config.xml with a text editor and look for the folder name (the GUID). You should find a line starting with <Unit having the XML attribute sfcPath="SmartForms\<YourFolderNameGuid>". The same line also tells you the name of the object.
Now you should be able to identify and open the view in CpStudio.
Finding the control that the right is assigned to: Some lines above the place where you found the right in the sfc file, there is a node like <Mod_Button wfml:ID="Mod_Button1". Mod_Button1 is the name of the button.
On top of the Smart Properties in CpStudio, there is a dropdown list where you can find and select all the controls by their name.
Besides, I have one small hint: I would recommend to use separate rights for different use-cases. The EditData rights are meant for the data editor. Of course, it works to use the same rights somewhere else. But if you create your own rights for project-specific use-cases, you have the chance to give them a meaningful name and text, telling the user admin what features he is actually enabling by granting a right.
