    You can’t use the enhanced profile user interface for your org if:
    
    - You use Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 6, which is now obsolete. Support for Internet Explorer ended December 2020. Replace it with Microsoft Edge.
    - You use category groups on guest profiles used for sites.
    - You delegate partner portal administration to portal users.
