Taxi Clearance

When you are issued with a Taxi clearance, is that clearance an authority to taxi and have right of way? I realise that the "give way to your right" rule if there is conflicting traffic, but shouldn't the ATC ground controller advise who has right of way, or issue a "hold before" clearance?

I had an issue, and gave way to my right as per the "rules of the air", but was confused and cannot find the specific reference for this. I was advised that I should give way to my right (which I did), but this doesn't happen in the Air, so why should it on the ground.

Can anyone provide a specific reference as I'm not 100% either way.

Thanks all
