It seems like no matter how explicit and clear the instructions are on how to install the Vision Client Launcher, someone inevitably installs the Designer instead and then asks "why it not work?"... 🤦‍♂️ It would be great to have a setting that allowed hiding the "Get Designer" button from the gateway webpage until authenticated with sufficient privileges or restricting it to only being accessible from the config page.

Edit: Can vote for the feature request here:

I had kind of given up on submitting to the feature request portal because it wouldn't allow me to login for the longest time. Just tried for the hell of it and looks like it is working again. Updated the original post to include the feature request link. Thanks for the kick to not be lazy and actually check!
