# Enforce accepting Terms of Service **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
An admin can enforce acceptance of a terms of service and privacy policy. When this option is enabled, new and existing users must accept the terms.
|
|
|
|
If configured, the Terms of Service page can be viewed via `https://your-instance.com/-/users/terms` at anytime.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
To enforce acceptance of a Terms of Service and Privacy Policy:
|
|
|
|
1. Log in to the GitLab instance as an admin user.
|
|
1. Go to **Admin Area > Settings > General**.
|
|
1. Expand the **Terms of Service and Privacy Policy** section.
|
|
1. Check the **Require all users to accept Terms of Service and Privacy Policy when they access
|
|
GitLab.** checkbox.
|
|
1. Input the text of the **Terms of Service and Privacy Policy**. Markdown formatting can be used in this input box.
|
|
1. Click **Save changes**.
|
|
1. When you are presented with the **Terms of Service** statement, click **Accept terms**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For each update to the terms, a new version is stored. When a user accepts or declines the terms,
|
|
GitLab records which version they accepted or declined.
|
|
|
|
## New users
|
|
|
|
When this feature is enabled, a checkbox is added to the sign-up form.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This checkbox is required during sign up.
|
|
|
|
Users can review the terms entered in the admin panel before
|
|
accepting. The page is opened in a new window so they can
|
|
continue their registration afterwards.
|
|
|
|
## Accepting terms
|
|
|
|
When this feature is enabled, the users that have not accepted the
|
|
terms of service are presented with a screen where they can either
|
|
accept or decline the terms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the user accepts the terms, they are directed to where they
|
|
were going. After a sign-in or sign-up this is most likely the
|
|
dashboard.
|
|
|
|
If the user was already logged in when the feature was turned on,
|
|
they are asked to accept the terms on their next interaction.
|
|
|
|
If a user declines the terms, they are signed out.
|
|
|
|
<!-- ## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
|
|
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
|
|
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
|
|
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
|
|
questions that you know someone might ask.
|
|
|
|
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
|
|
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
|
|
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
