# Deprecation: #96733 - Deprecated TBE_MODULES related functionality {#deprecation-96733}

See [forge#96733](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/96733)

## Description {#description}

Due to the removal of global array `$TBE_MODULES`
(see [breaking changelog](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/changelog:breaking-96733)),
the following related methods have been deprecated:

-   `\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Authentication\BackendUserAuthentication->modAccess()`
-   `\TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Utility\BackendUtility::isModuleSetInTBE_MODULES()`

## Impact {#impact}

Calling mentioned methods will trigger a PHP `E_USER_DEPRECATED` error.
The extension scanner will report usages.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

All installations calling mentioned methods in custom extension code.

## Migration {#migration}

Use the new `ModuleProvider` API (see [feature changelog](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/changelog:feature-96733)) instead.

Replace `BackendUserAuthentication->modAccess()` with `ModuleProvider->accessGranted()`.

Replace `BackendUtility::isModuleSetInTBE_MODULES()` with `ModuleProvider->isModuleRegistered()`.
