# Feature: #76748 - Configure the availability of the elementbrowser {#feature-76748}

See [forge#76748](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/76748)

## Description {#description}

The button to open the elementBrowser can be configured to be enabled/disabled for the user.

The button can be disabled by the following TCA setting:
`[table_name]['columns'][field_name]['config']['appearance']['elementBrowserEnabled'] = false;`

The button can be disabled by the following pageTs setting:
`TCEFORM.table_name.field_name.config.appearance.elementBrowserEnabled = 0`

The button can be disabled by the following userTs setting:
`page.TCEFORM.table_name.field_name.config.appearance.elementBrowserEnabled = 0`

## Impact {#impact}

Default behavior is that the button stays visible, to disable/hide this button the TCA/pageTs/userTs needs to be explicit changed.
