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
returns true. In order to determine if a resource is explicitly protected with a rule, you
must use the IsProtected function.
Example
<!---

<!--------------------------------------------------------------------

If the data source is protected, the code then checks to see if the
current user is authorized to select information from the datasource.
