I am trying to assign security to a button! I selected the button and right click and choose security, but nothing shows up to configure it .  
I have tried other ways. For example, select the component, then choose from menu show security.  
Also, I have tried the four dots " Panel chooser" (on the left down corner) and select and tick security setting, still does not work??

You could also try resetting the panels:

Navigate to the upper menu of Designer and select View \> Reset Panels

Cache folder is located in your user directory. `C:\Users\<your user>\.ignition` if you're using Windows. To clear the cache you delete `.ignition` folder and it will be created again upon your next launch.
