Sharepoint RightsGroup Element (View)

Scenario:
Links under ListViewWebPart such as 'Add new discussion' needs to be hidden some times based on specific rights.

Implementation:
When you see the ListViewWebPart under xslt mode or using SPD you will find out the CDATA content uder <ListViewXml></ListViewXml> tags.

In general, for the above mentioned example 'Add new discussion' resides under the rights group as below.

<IfHasRights>
 <RightsChoices>
  <RightsGroup PermAddListItems="required"/>
 </RightsChoices>
 <Then>
  <HTML> To create a new item, click 'Add new discussion' below.
  </HTML>
 </Then>
</IfHasRights>

here instead of PermAddListItems which comes with Read Level permissions, i would like to make sure that Read level doesnt have access to 'Add new discussion'. So, i will change replace PermAddListItems="required" to PermManageLists="required".

Now, think of as many places as you can use this.
