Add introductory text for sign-up

[dax (Daniela)]

Hi Benjamin, welcome to Discourse.

@BenjaminScholz

We would like to not only add more optional user fields at sign-up for organizations

See Create and configure custom user fields

@BenjaminScholz

but also a short introductory text at the beginning in which we explain why such additional information would be helpful for us. Is it possible to add such a text, and if yes, how?

To add additional info you can create a simple theme component and add it to the main theme(s) on your site. You need only to insert in the Common/CSS tab something like this:

.d-modal.create-account .login-form table:before {
    content: " EXTRA TEXT HERE EXTRA TEXT HERE EXTRA TEXT HERE EXTRA TEXT HERE EXTRA TEXT HERE EXTRA TEXT HERE ";
}

to have this result both on desktop and mobile

Furthermore, we would like to add some sort of “license policy” under the user fields with which the users agree upon sign-up. How is this feasible?

There is already something similar at the end of the form, but you can add more text if needed. Go to the /admin/customize/site_texts page, search for By registering, you agree to the to find the correct template and edit it or add more text.
