# Breaking: #92499 - AdminPanel does not preview hidden Frontend User Groups {#breaking-92499}

See [forge#92499](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/92499)

## Description {#description}

Admin Panel previously allowed to also render a page with frontend groups that
were hidden / disabled. This feature has been removed,
in order to ensure consistency for the authentication process.

The property `AbstractUserAuthentication::showHiddenRecords` which
was used to transfer this information is removed.

## Impact {#impact}

The Admin Panel selector now only shows a list of active groups
to simulate from.

Using the removed PHP property `AbstractUserAuthentication::showHiddenRecords` will result
in a PHP notice.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

TYPO3 installations with Admin Panel activated and Frontend Groups
that are disabled.

## Migration {#migration}

It is recommended to include groups where no user is assigned to
for simulation purposes, if this feature is needed to preview
content.
