- VerifyBrowser may not be disabled
- Email address cannot be changed, is read only and must end in @miva.com
- 2FA cannot be disabled
- All standard Two-Factor authentication dialogs and controls for Miva Employee accounts are disabled since they are forced though a centralized Miva 2-Factor system

Custom Page Fields – Ability to create/view/update custom field data associated with pages, in addition to new functions to read/write custom page data.

New Public Custom Field Flag – Determines if custom field is available in new runtime product/category JSON APIs

Redis Page Caching now supports bzip2 compression for HTML to reduce the overall size of data store in memory (~80% reduction) but adds about ~3ms to each cached page load (to uncompressed the data)

Runtime_PaymentMethodList_Load now has a helper function in runtime.js to make it easier to call on any page

Shipping Method Rules now take into account discounts applied to the basket

If a user with the Administrator privilege is created with an expiration date, that user can no longer self-extend or remove their expiration. Another Administrator user is now required to make such a change.

As a result of the module API changes added for Store Utility Modules, both Manage Quotes and Review Baskets can be accessed without the admin user having full access to Utilities
