Orders a transfer of credits without right (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edicts

'orders' is the definition.
('edict' can be a synonym of 'order')

'a transfer of credits without right' is the wordplay.
'a transfer of' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'transferring' mean this).
'without' suggests deleting specific letters.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'credits' with 'r' removed is 'cedits'.
'cedits' anagrammed gives 'EDICTS'.

(Other definitions for edicts that I've seen before include "Decrees by authority" , "'Decrees, fiats (6)'" , "Official orders and decrees" , "Orders proclaimed by an authority" , "Orders proclaimed by authorities" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
