There is another project called Data which has Models as a reference. So, from the OperatorSession I can not even access DbSet to try to get an instance of the operator by the code to check operator's roles.

Have not understood completely, but

(1) You can add the same method with a different signature if necessary

(2) Rights class can be a static property of OperatorSession class - if needed

(3) You can always instantiate an object in a static method
