  1. Include timestamp (start and end) of an activity on report

    User wants to know the start and end times when moving files within Box. Since there is no way other than leaving a record of the user starting the process on report, we would like you to add this record for the user activity report.

  3. Ability to sort box applications by approval status

    There are currently 147 pages of applications available for approval but no easy way to see which apps are approved/disabled other than scrolling through each page. Please add the ability to filter based on approval status of the apps.

  4. Folder tree reporting based on user permission

    Cannot run a folder tree report out of the admin console due to size constraints. We wants to see folders, “where user is the owner or co-owner.”

  5. Ability to review all external users permission levels

    We would like the ability to review all external users permission levels. I was thinking of an interactive way to filter and search. For example: On the Users and Groups section open the list of External Users. It would be nice to see their assigned permissions here. Then be able to filter to show those who have editor rights, or search those who have email domain = sample.com. Then you could interactively edit.

  6. When deleting or adding members to a group, it isn't clear that the 'Save' button has to be pressed to save those actions.

    When deleting or adding members to a group, it isn't clear that the 'Save' button has to be pressed to save those actions. So, it might be worth popping up a box iwhen a user performs such an action in order to inform the user, when a member is added or deleted, the action will not be complete until the 'Save' button is pressed.

  7. Hide or disable unavailable options for non-primary admins

    The interface for secondary admin accounts is extremely confusing. It should at minimum have the SSO section disabled with a note explaining that only the primary admin account can modify it, or even better display the settings but greyed out. Having an active button to initiate SSO configuration for an organization that already has SSO enabled made me worry that SSO had broken in some way, or that our Box configuration was in an inconsistent/unstable state at risk of breaking if I made any changes.

  8. Support for "custom domains" (not just sub-domains).

    Add support for custom domains (not just sub-domains). We already use the sub-domain, but we find that box.com is blocked by counter parties, for security/DLP reasons

    Having this ability would more easily allow other firms to white list our site without opening up ever Box account under the sun.

  9. Geo-Restrictions

    Would it possible to consider a geo-restriction setting so that an admin user has the option of restricting the location of collaborators and shared link recipients, to certain geographical locations.

  10. Version Number Included on Download

    When downloading any document, the "version number" should be automatically included in the file name to avoid confusion.

  11. Allow the option to transfer collaboration permissions when deleting a user.

    Allow the option to transfer collaboration permissions when deleting a user. Currently, when deleting a user, it only gives us the option to transfer ownership of files and folders they own. But if a user were to undergo a name change, we would have to manually give their new Box account the same collaborative permissions as their old Box account (Co-owner, Editor, Viewer Uploader, Previewer Uploader, Viewer, Previewer, Uploader).

    When deleting their Box account, Co-owner, Editor, Viewer Uploader, Previewer Uploader, Viewer, Previewer, and Uploader permissions currently do not transfer over.

  12. Password Resets by Administrator

    This weekend, our organization had an internet outage that stopped email from delivering for four days. I had a user whose password expired and due to the password reset process being wholly dependent on email, the user was unable to work in Box, which is where all their files are, so they couldn't work. I setup a call back and was told that the process needed email in order to manually reset the user's password.

    There needs to be a way where administrators can reset a user's password in the admin console. There are times when email is not a…

  13. Allow user activity report to be filtered by affected user

    We are unable to run the user activity report due the scale of their enterprise (15,000+ users).

    Please run this report (particularly to determine collaboration permission changes) for a given affected users.

    This would allow us to get the information of interest to them rather than a enterprise wide report that is almost unmanageable to filter after being run.

  15. 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.

    not planned  ·  dfisher responded

    This is not currently planned as it is an edge case. We will reconsider with additional demand.

  16. Role based permissions or more granular permissions on groups

    Ideal is a role based permission where you can select individual folders, people, and files that users have access to as well as admin permissions.

    Other option is to add more granular permissions for groups.

    We do not plan to add more permissions / roles at this time.

  17. Ability to output a list of all collaborators via API

    Currently you are not able to export external users as a list. You can only validate if a certain user is external or not.

  19. Event Stream notification for Admin Console changes

    We need to monitor security of our environment and want to be able to identify and flag, via the Event Stream, when any Admin Console setting is changed.

    This is available via the UI in User Reports, but is not in the Event Stream.

    This is especially important for enterprises who rely on SIEM tools like Splunk and QRadar to alert to unauthorized actions.
