And I’m the admin of the group so I don’t need a permission. But I have a trouble with accessing a private dataset. What should I do? ![스크린샷 2024-11-19 오후 12.06.28](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/hellohellohello/original/3X/9/2/9265f1ee6a28ca100a6e05cc9caa38827917efdb.png) ---

Try like this. ```py dataset = load_dataset("author/dataset", token=access_token) ``` > **[Loading methods](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/v3.1.0/en/package_reference/loading_methods#datasets.load_dataset)** > > We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science. ---

Thanks, but same issue again, When I changed it to public dataset, I can load dataset, And I also have checked my tokens settings when I used dataset as private. ---

It seems that the fact that it can be loaded if it is public means that it is not a problem with the library version, so it is strange…🤔 Only the token is not being passed correctly. It seems that there have been similar cases in the past. There have been a lot of questions about authentication in the past few days, so there may be a bug on the HF side. > [@Colab cannot find HuggingFace dataset](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/colab-cannot-find-huggingface-dataset/63448): > > When I try to run the following code to load a dataset from Hugging Face hub to google Colab, I get an error! ! pip install transformers datasets from datasets import load\_dataset cv\_13 = load\_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common\_voice\_13\_0", "en", split="train") \ in \() 1 from datasets import load\_dataset 2 ----\> 3 cv\_13 = load\_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common\_voice\_13\_0", "en", split="train") 2 frames /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-pac… > > > \### Describe the bug > > > \`\`\` > File "/root/miniconda3/envs/gino\_conda/lib/pyth…on3.9/site-packages/datasets/load.py", line 1852, in dataset\_module\_factory > raise DatasetNotFoundError(msg + f" at revision '{revision}'" if revision else msg) > datasets.exceptions.DatasetNotFoundError: Dataset 'xxx' doesn't exist on the Hub or cannot be accessed > \>\>\> dataset = load\_dataset("xxxx", token=True) > > 404 error 404 Client Error.
