Description
This function will check for the existence of any active authorizations for the entity being evaluated. The authorization comparison is based on the entity type (user, device, or group) of the entity being evaluated.
Processing Notes
This function goes through the following steps to derive the required answer:
•Validates that a least one MSL has been chosen in the "MSL title(s) to compare (CTRL to select multiple)" parameter.
•The MSL(s) chosen will be compared to the entity being evaluated to ensure that all have the same authorization type. If not, the confidence will adjusted and the return code set to 'else'.
•Finally, a search is executed to find the existence of active authorizations. If one or more are found, then 'true' is returned with the number of authorizations found. If none are found, then 'false' is returned.
•PLEASE NOTE: The return value can be large and this function is not recommended to calculate a final EUR value
