We’d like to require users to accept our terms and conditions before they can create an account. I found a similar thread on this topic: Security for underage users However, our legal settings tab does not have the checkbox as shown. We tried updating the config files without success. Can someone please tell us how to enable this feature? Thank you. Best wishes, -Brian

To require acceptance of a terms-of-service, use a required custom user field. [This is a screenshot of a user profile page from a web application, likely for managing user fields. (Captioned by AI)] When defining a user field, you can select “Field Requirement” as “For all users”. When you do so, all new and existing users will be prompted to fill the custom field.

Use the User Fields instead. Copy the tos_accept from the screenshot below.
