Access Stats: Ability to get Access Stats programmatically per-file
Provide an a file API endpoint to obtain Access stats similar to the functionality in the Webapp.
Right now, we have to collect all the relevant events and do the math every time to get an accurate count. This complicates the application logic. Would be much easier to obtain the stats without having to calculate them on your own just like the UI does.
For example having the ability to pass a field and get summary figures in the response. Having to create an event parser to do this is a high barrier to entry to get this type of…

Bulk Edit - Add Ability to Change Primary Email Addresses
Bulk Edit currently allows admins to change various settings for users, but it does not allow the admin to 'bulk edit' the primary email addresses for their users. This functionality would be handy in various scenarios, including when a company goes through an email domain change.
Right now, customers must come to Box (Customer Success) to have us run scripts in Internal Admin to do bulk email changes as we do not have this feature natively in Bulk Edit within the Admin Console.

Allow users to have over 100 group associations.
Many of our users are a part of over 100 groups in their AD, but Box won't add these users to these groups because Box has a group membership limit of 100 groups per user.
2 votesWe would recommend you consider using an API-based integration to import Groups into Box rather than the SAML approach for a better user experience.

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.

Personal Folder Auto-Creation
Similar to the Okta feature (https://support.okta.com/help/articles/Knowledge_Article/36802318-Configuring-Box-to-Create-a-Personal-Shared-Folder), this request is for a native option in Box to automatically provision a 'personal folder' for each user upon provisioning (whether provisioned manually, via Bulk Add, or via auto-provisioning).
Key Requests for this feature:
--Ability to customize the name of the folder that's created (such as choosing the user's name + 'Personal Folder' or other custom strings of text)
--The user's personal folder will be created in their own account and they'll be the owner of it, with no other users in it (even if restrict content creation is turned on)12 votes -
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.

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.

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.
5 votesThis is not currently planned as it is an edge case. We will reconsider with additional 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.

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…
3 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.

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.
11 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. -
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.
