Isn't that just "security by obscurity"? Or invisibility? What business harm is there in revealing that a function exists as long as the security rules prevent unauthorized use?
Or is it just to keep the naive unauthorized screen user from "confusion"? What exactly is meant by a "business ready" approach to user interfaces?

If an option is not allowed, it should not be displayed. I realize that this complicates programming, but it's the 'business ready' approach to any user interface on any platform. -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
