A colleague tried to share a private repo with me. I received an email with the following subject and text.

## [Access granted] You have been granted access to model user/semantic-feature-classifiers

Hi Name,

You have been granted access to model “user/semantic-feature-classifiers” on huggingface.

You can now access the repo [here](https://huggingface.co/user/semantic-feature-classifiers), or view all your gated repo access requests [in your settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/gated-repos).

* * *

The ‘here’ link 404s. I waited about a week to see if some back end database would catch up and resolve but no such luck. I am logged in when I receive the 404 message. Any idea what could be happening?

Hi @gchronis you can access your gated repos here as a workaround: [https://huggingface.co/settings/gated-repos](https://huggingface.co/settings/gated-repos).

Thank you for the suggestion. I looked here as well and this repository is not listed. I only see one repository, darkBERT, which I requested and received access to over a year ago.

What’s the name of the model? If it’s private, you can email [website@huggingface.co](mailto:website@huggingface.co) and we can take a closer look.

Hey @meganariley . Facing the same issue here. Got a mail saying I’ve been granted access but the url returns 404 Not Found Message.

Same [issue](/static-proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscuss.huggingface.co%2Ft%2Faccess-granted-to-model-404-error%2F90138). User Solved it by changing the repo visibility to public.

I have the same issue. How did you guys resolve this? I don’t want to make the model public in order to give access.

Hi - users won’t be able to see a gated model unless it’s set to ‘public’. If it’s set to ‘private,’ they’ll receive a 404 error message.
