# setString(_:)

Sets the requested-right string to use with the default authorization rights set.

## Declaration

```swift
func setString(_ authorizationString: AuthorizationString!)
```

## Parameters

- `authorizationString`: The string to be displayed.

## Discussion

Discussion This is a convenience method that creates an authorization rights set when you specify only the name of the requested right. The requested-right string is displayed in the Details pane of the user authentication dialog box. Either this method or the setAuthorizationRights(_:) method must be called before the view displays correctly.
