I have authenticated the Power-Up but now it has disappeared from my board

The likely reason is that someone on your team disabled the Power-Up on your board. If anyone on your team enables it, it will be visible again for all team members. That’s how Power-Ups work, either everyone sees it, or no one sees it.
