# Added new `access` argument to `standardMetafieldDefinitionEnable` and `standardMetafieldDefinitionsEnable` GraphQL mutations

As of the GraphQL Admin API version 2024-10, an `access` argument is being added to the `standardMetafieldDefinitionEnable` and `standardMetafieldDefinitionsEnable` GraphQL mutations.

As of the GraphQL Admin API version 2024-10, we're deprecating the `visibleToStorefrontApi` argument on the `standardMetafieldDefinitionEnable` and `standardMetafieldDefinitionsEnable` GraphQL mutations. Use the new `access` argument instead.

The new `access` argument allows developers to specify more granular access controls when enabling a standard metafield definition template.
