# Breaking: #73461 - Import module disabled for non admin users {#breaking-73461-1668719172}

See [forge#73461](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/73461)

## Description {#description}

The import module of EXT:impexp has been disabled for non-admin users by default.

## Impact {#impact}

For non-admin users who need that functionality, the userTsConfig option `options.impexp.enableImportForNonAdminUser = 1`
can be set. This can become a security problem to the TYPO3 instance in core versions
7.6 and 6.2 and should only be enabled for "trustworthy" backend users in general.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Installations with non-admin users making active use of the import / export module

## Migration {#migration}

Set userTsConfig option `options.impexp.enableImportForNonAdminUser = 1` to restore the old behavior.
