making a group of buttons visible based on user email and whether a form is also visible

[RyanBourbon1]

Hello,

I am building an application where I would like to be able to have a button visible based on who the user is but only when another form is also visible.  I have set the visibility based on the individuals email but am having issues with recognizing when a form is also visible.  My formula is as follows:

If(User().Email = "email1"|| "email2",true)

I would like to add an additional criteria along the lines of 

If(User().Email = "email1"|| "email2" && form1(visibility) = true ,true)

Any help would be appreciated.

@RyanBourbon1 - you can directly reference the Visible property of the Edit Form control:

User().Email = "someone@somewhere.com" && Form1.Visible

Notes:

• If you're using multiple Button controls, consider adding those Buttons into a Container, and then apply the above to the Visible property of that Container instead.
• Note the absence of the If function, given the Visible property only accepts a Boolean (true/false), there is no need to wrap an IF function around a formula which is already going to return a Boolean anyway.

Thanks for the reply.  I tried what you said but it still doesnt seems to work.  I have included a few screenshots that show the formula, what the buttons in question look like with the form visible and then the buttons visible when the form is not.  Any further suggestions?

@RyanBourbon1 - some comments

1. I do not know what the second picture (of the Buttons), and the third picture of the "Reset" Button are supposed to tell me
2. You're not using the formula I gave you. If you want to add another User into the condition, use:

User().Email = "someone@somewhere.com" && Form1.Visible || User().Email = "someone_else@somewhere.com" && Form1.Visible

My initial statement said that I understand how to incorporate multiple emails and that portion of the function has worked without issue.  Picture 1 of the formula shows the section you prescribed defining the form as true, picture 2 shows how the buttons are visible with the form, and picture 3 show the form no longer visible and yet the buttons are still visible.  My question is how do I make the buttons no longer visible when the form is not visible but also only visible when certain users are working within the app.

Yet another fun aspect of Microsoft and PowerApps; turns out exactly what I am trying to do can be accomplished with the same code in reverse.  

If( User().Email = "email1"||"email2" && form1.Visible,true) ===does not work

If(form1.Visible&&User().Email ="email1"||"email2",true) === does work

Please give this directly in the visibility property of the button and it should be working as expected

User().Email = "email1@gmail.com" || User().Email = "email2@gmail.com" && form1.Visible

adjust the emails as needed
