With the Digital Rights Management (DRM) option enabled, users can add optional Terms & Conditions to their files. This requires Consumer-level users to agree to those terms & conditions before downloading a file.

Make sure you have set the checkmark for the Digital Rights Management settings to appear.

 

Note: If an asset has terms and conditions turned on and is published via a public portal, guest users are required to agree to these terms prior to downloading.

 

Requirement: You need to be signed in using an administrator's account in order to use the Terms & Conditions feature.
