Security trimming on CustomActions tag for custom menu items and ribbon buttons

We often need to add a security trimming for our custom menu items or ribbon buttons using CustomActions tag.

Here is the solution

<customaction

ContentTypeId = "Text"

ControlAssembly = "Text"

ControlClass = "Text"

ControlSrc = "Text"

Description = "Text"

GroupId = "Text"

...

Rights = "Text"

..>

We can apply security trimming using 'Rights' attribute.

There are lot of options that can be used as value for this attribute.
