To give dataset creators more control over how their datasets are used, the Hub allows users to enable User Access requests through a dataset’s Settings tab. Enabling this setting requires users to agree to share their contact information in order to access the dataset. The contact information is stored in a database, and dataset owners are able to download a copy of the user access report.
The User Access request dialog can be modified to include additional text and checkbox fields in the prompt. To do this, add a YAML section to the dataset’s README.md file (create one if it does not already exist) and add an extra_gated_fields property. Within this property, you’ll be able to add as many custom fields as you like and whether they are a text or checkbox field. An extra_gated_prompt property can also be included to add a customized text message.

extra_gated_prompt: "You agree to not attempt to determine the identity of individuals in this dataset"
extra_gated_fields:
Company: text
Country: text
I agree to use this model for non-commerical use ONLY: checkbox

The README.md file for a dataset is called a Dataset Card. Visit the documentation to learn more about how to use it and to see the properties that you can configure.
In some cases, you might also want to modify the text in the heading of the gate as well as the text in the button. For those use cases you can modify extra_gated_heading and extra_gated_button_content.

extra_gated_heading: "Acknowledge license to accept the repository"
extra_gated_button_content: "Acknowledge license"
