Getting error Undefined property: Illuminate\Auth\AuthManager::$user

Hello,

I am pretty new here and to Laravel. I am using filament panels and also using FullCalendar by saade. I am also using Filament Shield for permissions.

The issue is, in the calendar (also having this issue with hiding menu items) I want to hide the create appointment button unless the user is a specific role, or has a specific permission.

I have researched heavily but keep hitting the brick wall of this error. The offending code:

return [ Actions\CreateAction::make() ->visible(fn(): bool => auth()->user->can('create_appointments')), ];

I have also tried user() and that gives an intelliphense error. I am at a bit of a loss, as based on my research this seems to be the best way to achieve this.

I feel this is a simple issue with my lack of knowledge, but if anyone can point me in the right direction I would truly appreciate it!

Thanks Phil
