Control External Collaboration at User Level (not folder level)
Currently, users can have a restriction placed on them that folders owned by that user cannot be collaborated outside of the organization. However, if that user is invited into a folder that allows for external collaboration, that user can invite external collaborators.
We want flexibility to control this at a user by user basis. For example, User A should not be able to invite external collaborators, regardless of folder that they're invited into. However, User B should have the ability to do so (but only within folders that User B owns or within another folder that is set to allow…
4 votesThank you for this request! I’d like to see additional customers with use cases for user-level collaboration restrictions.
Collaboration is a setting that is tied to content rather than users, and I’m not sure that we have evidence yet to make changes to that model.

Deleted accounts: Retrieve and restore any previous collaboration relationships
Allow for a Point in Time recovery.
We inadvertently de-provisioned a group of users and then re-provisioned them. Upon re-provisioning, we want Box to be able to restore the user collaboration points to how they existed prior.
6 votesThis is not currently planned as it is an edge case. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Add User Email Address to 'Account Creation Notification' Emails
PROBLEM: Admins in Box have the ability to receive emails when new accounts are created (via the Account Creation Notification setting in Enterprise Settings -> Security). However, this email only includes the NAME of the user, not the user's email address.
REQUEST: Add the email address for the user to the email (next to the name) since names are not unique within a company (but emails typically are).
1 voteThis is a reasonable request. Thank you for filing it! We will reconsider this with additional customer demand.

New User-Level Field: "User Description" (Free Text)
Other applications (like Slack) have a user-level free text field (similar to a User Description / Information field) where admins or users can enter free text to describe the user.
1 voteThis is not currently planned. We will revisit this with additional use case data and customer requests.

Usage Logs - Indefinite Timeframe for Retrieval (Extend Current 7 Year Limit)
Currently Box Usage Logs are retained by Box for 7 years. Box customers can export up to 7 years worth of Usage Logs from the Box Admin Console.
As a customer, I want that 7 year limit to be raised to 'indefinitely,' meaning we can pull Usage Logs for actions taken at any point in time, not just the past 7 years.
REQUEST: Remove 7 year limit for Admin Console Usage Logs exports.
1 voteThank you for this suggestion! This is not currently planned for now. We will let you know if anything changes.

Add Sort by 'Status' Option to Managed Users Page
Add the ability to sort by user status (active, inactive, cannot edit & delete, cannot upload edit & delete) to the Managed User page in the Admin Console.
13 votesWe are re-designing the managed users page and will focus on adding advanced filtering of managed users by status as a follow up. Right now, releasing the re-design will be our first priority, so filtering by status is not on the near-term
(6 month) roadmap. We will revisit this after we release the new page. -
Tracking Codes via SAML
REQUEST: The ability to add tracking codes as part of the SAML assertion. Currently Tracking Codes must be managed manually in the Admin Console or vis API.
1 voteThank you for this suggestion. We will not be prioritizing this in our roadmap. We will review with additional customer demand.

Report on all Upload email addresses that are created
Currently we can create a report on shared links. There is not a way to track all upload email addresses that have been created. The features surrounding upload email addresses is rather limited compared to the features associated with shared links.

Thank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.
We will reconsider with additional use cases.

Enable searching for groups by name
We have ~1500 employees and many legacy group. We are working to create a new group structure and have a need to search for similar groups by name to create a mapping to consolidate their groups.
4 votesCustomers can use the Get Enterprise Groups API to retrieve groups by name: https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference.
However, we do not provide this functionality through the Groups UI in the Admin Console. This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap because we are currently focusing on improving the user interface and performance to manage users.

Admin Messaging to all Users
Currently, there is no way to send a mass message to all users in an enterprise. It will be great to be able to send a message about an upcoming maintenance or upcoming feature users can look forward to or certain changes that may be coming directly from Box.
I needed to send a message to our users a few weeks ago when we needed to disable SSO in order to perform some maintenance with Recommend and I had no options. I used a Box group we add all our users to, but there is no HTML formatting so the…

Provide Shared Links Details report on a user / groups level
Instead of running it for the entire enterprise, we want it segmented by user or group
2 votesHappy to review. Can you provide more clarity on the use case/reason here? Are you hitting a scale issue, or is there some data you’d like added to the report?

Upload/Change User Avatars (Profile Pictures) from Managed Users Page in Admin Console
Currently user avatars (profile pictures) can only be added, removed, or changed from an individual user's account settings and these avatars are not editable whatsoever via the admin console. Meaning for an admin to add one on behalf of a user or to remove one, they must use instant log in (which not many co-admins have).
When clicking to edit a user from the Admin Console -> Managed Users page, options to manage the user's avatar should be presented (just like we have for editing their name, email, etc.).

This proposed enhancement to email notifications and to custom branding is a reasonable idea, but an area that we are unlikely to invest in this year.

"Failed logins" on Enterprise Settings should clear the number of failed login when a user logins successfully
Currently, the number of failed login piles up even after a user logins successfully. It's strange, so it should be cleared when a user logins successfully.
1 voteThis is a reasonable request, however we do not have enough user demand to prioritize this feature.
