## What's fixed

- **No section without access.** When your admin group gives you `No Access` to Internal Comments,
  the `Internal Comments` section no longer appears on a contract, applicant, funding round,
  Fund, payment batch or decision. Before, it showed its heading and a "could not be loaded" warning with
  `Try again`. Applications and milestones already hid it. See
  [Internal comments](/administrator/communications/internal-comments) and
  [Admin groups](/administrator/users/admin-groups).
- **Read Only is unchanged.** With `Read Only` access you still read the comments, with no comment
  box, attachment or delete.
