I'm putting together a few guestbooks for our dataverse and I want to have a block of text with an "I agree" option that the user has to select before getting access.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 28 2024 at 21:22):Sorry, I can't think of a great guestbook example, but I think the main thing is to make the custom question required.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 28 2024 at 21:24):There's also a new feature (as of 6.1) called Guestbook at Request you can enable, if you like: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.2/installation/config.html#dataverse-files-guestbook-at-request
Anna Sackmann (May 29 2024 at 22:21):@Philip Durbin We have "I agree" and "I do not agree" as the two multiple choice responses to our guestbook terms, but theoretically, a user could select "I do not agree" and still download the dataset. Is this something I need to configure through users/groups at the dataset level? Or at the dataverse level? Thanks! We're just getting up and running over here at UC Berkeley.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 29 2024 at 22:37):Hmm, another way would be to restrict files and let people click a "Request Access" button.
Then the author or a curator would grant access.
