Therefore the **access for users with Internet Explorer has been disabled by default**. Please note that the official support for Internet Explorer ended with Stages version 7.6.
  
-To allow users with Internet Explorer to acces Stages, set the ''global.secureMode.IEAccess''  config property in ''config.xml''  either to ''non_root''  (= all users except root) or ''all_users''. +[[:78:security_settings|See here for more details.]]

-Unmanaged HTML sections in descriptions are an inherent security risk, because process modelers could open the system up to XSS vulnerabilities. Therefore, **those features were disabled by default**. +
- +
-To reenable the handling for unmanaged HTML sections in descriptions, set the ''process.description.displayUnmanagedSections.enabled''  and ''legacy.description.migration.unmanagedSection.templates''  properties to ''true''  in ''config.xml''. +

-**We highly recommend to make those changes only if the respective impact on security is well understood.**+
