<Class name="wt.access.SecurityLabeled">

This is how the security label add in was implemented. Its looking for attribute definitions in this file.

This is where you declare the different types of labels you want. I believe this file has more uses outside of Security Labels to your point but this is how they chose to add in security label functionality.

Hi @avillanueva,

Thanks for the Info.

Any reason why security label should be a SCA?

I believe SCA relates to Server Calculated Attribute
