Allow Excel to open report (csv) without worrying about encoding
The encoding for such csv file is in UTF-8 (no Byte Order Mark) and Excel failed to interpret such file, resulting in non-Unicode character turning garble.
Since we open this report in a Spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, it would be beneficial to have Byte Order Mark added to the csv report in the first place.
The workaround now is either
1) Open the csv file in a modern text editor and re-save it using UTF-8 (with Byte Order Mark)2) Open a blank spreadsheet on Excel. From "Data" tab click on import from text data source. The manually imported…

Password Expiration Notice "Prior to" the Date
We would like to see the message like: "Your password will be expired in 7 days". Currently, BOX asks us to reset our password on the day of expiration. This can be a problem especially when we are at airport and try to see box.
At the Admin console, we would like to see "0 day" or "7 days" as options.

Bulk Edit - Add 'Status' column to Bulk Edit spreadsheet
There is no way in the Admin Console to update 'status' (active, inactive, etc.) for 2 or more users at once (aka in bulk).
22 votesEnhancements to the Bulk Add/Edit feature are not currently on the roadmap, but will keep track of this request and consider prioritizing if many customers are requesting it. User status can be edited via API or SAML

Ability to create Box reports by API
To import snapshot data (folders and files, collaborations etc.) to SIEM like Splunk, it's convenient that Box reports data can be created by API.
22 votesCustomers can utilize the existing events infrastructure to gather this data, so we do not have any plans to provide snapshots in fewer API calls in the short term.

Groups cannot be collaborated via API without Manage groups scope
Users cannot add groups to folders via the API like they can in the UI without special 'manage groups' scope, which is essentially an admin scope. One direct impact with this is that it prevents our mobile app from having invite parity with our web app,

IP address restriction setting in admin console
We would like to be able to configure IP address restriction setting in admin console.
It cannot be set up IP address restriction without a service request to product support.
Therefore, any customer have to wait long time to set it and also is inconvenient.20 votes -
Tags
I'd like to see Box further realize and exploit the power of tags. From what I have seen, Box has only utilized the tip of the iceberg when it comes to tags. Below is a list of capabilities that would be amazing to use!
- Tag Viewer: a place to manage, rename, delete tags, and more.
- Tags appear and clickable in search results
- Ability to tag document in editor
I’ve been a devout Evernote user for years and they have a strong tag game. Evernote has been the backbone of my business for 10 years, and tags are the backbone of…

Change Unique Identifier to Something other than Email Address
This is the grouping for the common request for Box to use a unique identifier other than email address for managed users.
Key pain point with the fact that Box uses email address as the unique identifier: Email addresses change often in large companies, thus requiring these companies to use custom API scripting to keep emails in Box updated based on changes in AD.
This unique identifier (whether a mapped value from the customer's user store, aka AD, or the Box unique user ID) should also be the identifier used when users authenticate to Box using SSO (via SAML).
20 votesThis feature request isn’t currently planned on the roadmap, but we are considering the notion of user attributes that can be placed on a user and then used for better context while sharing / collaborating and searching in the Admin Console.
Please provide more use cases in the comments to help us understand the problem better.

Display folder path when Admin select folders to run User Activity reports.
There are many same folder names. When Admin like to select specific a folder to run the report, he or she can not select right folder due to having the same folder name. If there is folder path, Admin is able to select right folder to run the report.

Reporting for Former Employee(s)
I'd like to be able to run reports, like the failed login report, on former employee's deleted accounts. Once their account is deleted, they can no longer be searched so impossible to run a report on that group of individuals.

Currently our event log does not log detailed about activity made in External Folders
For example, copying files from an internal folder to an external folder our admin logs does not log the file name or details about the file. Only logs the File ID and target Folder ID.
We should log activity made in external folders.Registering Webhooks against external folders detailed logs are exported. We should be logging the same details to our admin logs.

Group-Level Sharing Controls: Control sharing permissions at the Group level
This request is specific to controlling external sharing permissions and defaults by Group. For example, an admin should be able to permit whether a Group can generate Open Shared Links, invite external collaborators, and the default shared link permission that is generated, even if users in that Group are within a folder that has external sharing enabled.
19 votesFor now, we are focussed on solving bulk management issues with Shared Links.
Box Shield is an additional option for enforcing granular controls on content.
