check_permission_authorization not found in EOSIO namespace

[taaha827]

Hello guys, I am working on developing a token on the eosio blockchain, and I have ran into an issue when configuring an action to require a particular permission before it can be executed, from the docs eosio::check_permission_authorization is the function that i would use for a particular permission on a transaction.
But when I am using it in my code the compiler is returning an error error: no type named 'check_permission_authorizatio
n' in namespace 'eosio'
can any one help me with this.
