                     @Nullable
                     T dataElement)

EXPERIMENTAL INTERFACE, DO NOT USE Determines if right r is enabled for the specified data element. The implementation will decide how to map this. The dataElement can be a "primary element" meaning something that rights are explicitly assigned on, or it can be something that can be linked to such a "priomary element". In the latter case it is the implementation's responsibility to obtain the primary element from the data passed and apply the rights check there. If data-bound permissions are not implemented this MUST return getRight(r).

Parameters:

r -

dataElement -
