Hi,  
I’m fairly new to hugging face and this whole field as a whole,  
I have a small dataset that I need to be private but in the builder script to download the dataset I need to to pass a token but huggingface doesn’t let me to add the token to the script,  
I saw people recommending secrets but that only in space.  
is there a way to add the token to the script?  
any help appreciated:)
