Visibility inheritance from Page to Groups (maybe a bug?)

[andrea-tomassi]

Description

Actually this could be a bug. However I'm not sure about the desired behavrior so for now I set it as "feature request".

In my opinion, if I hide a page by setting an ui-control, I would expect all the child groups for this specifig hidden page were hidden as well. Instead, If I just hide all the pages on my dashboard, then the groups from my homepage are still displayed.

Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue?

This is another example of unusual hierarchical auth missing:

Page 2 is disabled via ui-control:

{
    "pages": {
        "show": [
            "Page 1", "Page 2"
        ],
        "hide": [
            
        ],
        "enable": [
            "Page 1"
        ],
        "disable": [
            "Page 2"
        ]
    }
}

However, if we go via direct url to /dashboard/page2 (immagine you push the browser back button after you executed a logic in your application that should have disabled the page 2) than going to that page is still possible, and the button (all the widgets) inside page 2 are now enabled.

I think the inheritance of enable/disable state should be the default here
