Cannot find the page at all → function security. Page opens and the list is empty → data security. Page opens and some rows are missing → data security. Button greyed out → function security, usually a missing privilege in a copied role. Then the diagnostic sequence, in this order: check the role assignment, check role inheritance, check data access, check whether roles were regenerated after the last change.
