A component should be disabled when:

The Component Enable property is false -OR- Component Security has disabled it.

Right now binding the component enable property overrides component security. This is manageable by using an expression in the component enable for the meantime, as long as the developer is aware of this.

-Thanks for all your support! I’m saving or creating many jobs at Inductive with all my input lately. LOL

Yes, the current use of the “enabled” property is quite problematic, to put it mildly.

Your solution would be a good one.
