Hello,

I am working on a perspective session and have added an Expression to the visibility of a button that requires login under a certain user.

isAuthorized(true, 'Authenticated/Roles/Administrator') ||  
isAuthorized(true, 'Authenticated/Roles/Maintenance')

the issue I am having is that when you open perspective or change page views and not "logged in " the button is visible for a few seconds and will function before disappearing.

I would put the expression on the enabled prop instead of visible. Then make sure you save the view with it in the disabled state.

If you still have a local resource in place on the child project it will not use the parent settings. Make sure you remove the child resource/View.

What action are you performing with this button? I think every Action has a Security Settings button which allows you to specify who may perform the action, instead of relying on binding of props - though I do still highly recommend you bind the `enabled` prop so that users can see the button shouldn't work for them.
