Enterprise settings should trump individual folder settings
My only recommendation is that Enterprise Settings should override individual setting and not the other way around. What if the Enterprise Site Admin account was compromised?
1 voteThank you for submitting this suggestion.
We’re unlikely to look into changing our settings restriction model without additional customers requesting such an investigation. We will monitor this for additional feedback.

Last Activity - Add 'Last Activity' Info & Sort Option to Managed Users Page
We currently do not expose the 'Last Activity' field for Managed Users anywhere in the Admin Console.
This is a very helpful piece of information for admins to have easy access to in order to get a good idea, quickly, whether a user has recently been active in Box or not.
REQUEST:
--Add a 'Last Activity' field/value for each user in the list of users on the Managed User page
--Add 'Sort By: Last Active Date' to the Managed Users page so that admins can easily see who is recently (or not recently active)70 votes -
Custom Terms of Service: Add the 'Preview' Link/Option Again
In the Admin Console redesign, Box deprecated the 'Preview' option within the Custom Terms of Service settings.
This request is to bring that functionality back.
RATIONALE: Box supports adding HTML into the Terms of Service text, and there's no way (without a Preview link) to validate that the HTML renders correctly.
0 votesGood suggestion! This doesn’t rank high enough on our list of priorities, but we will re-evaluate with additional user demand.

Ability to edit a file if it is in the Trash
Once a file is in the trash, the only way to remove tags, metadata, is by restoring the file, making the changes, and sending it back to Trash.

We don’t show email addresses for any non-box users for collaborations. This is consistent with the /collaborations endpoint as well since the person in question has not agreed to our TOS

Ping Federate connector to automatically sign people out of all apps when deprovisioning
Use the API call "Update User" to force a user to change password (and in doing so, log them out of all applications) when deprovisioning a user using outbound provisioning. This isn't necessary if users are being deprovisioned to "Deleted" or "Inactive" status, but if they are being set to "Cannot Delete, Edit & Upload", then the user will still have access to Box via Sync/Mobile clients
0 votesThis suggestion is not under consideration for the future roadmap. We are currently focused on improving our user interface and key flows of user management before we add enhancements to the de-provisioning process.

Custom Message When Deleting Users
We would like to have a custom message that is sent every time we delete a user from our enterprise account.
0 votesThis is unlikely to be prioritized given other commitments.
What types of messages would you like to send? Are deleted accounts only for those who have left the company? Would they also receive the message? Is there generic information that Box can do a better job of sharing with users?

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?

Enhance the 'Storage Aggregate' Chart in Admin Console - Allow Exporting & Adjustments
The 'Storage Aggregate' chart on the homepage of the Admin Console is currently the only way for an admin to see/view the total storage used on a daily basis within their EID
As such, we should enhance this chart in the following ways:
1. Allow this chart to be expanded/made bigger
2. Allow customization of the time period - 'show me total daily storage over the past 2 weeks, or month, etc.'
3. All exporting of the total daily values into a simple CSV/Excel report1 vote -
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…

SSO Required to have exemptions for Admin(s)
This actually makes a lot of sense as we have it for Device Trust, but we would like SSO Required WHILST exempting an admin or two. If the IdP is down, no one can get in and this would create a catastrophic business impact.
13 votesThis is not currently prioritized. We will reconsider with additional use cases and demand.

We will want to see more demand for this functionality before further consideration.

Request to expose "ip_address" parameter through User Events endpoint as with Admin Events
ip_address parameter is exposed for events reported by the admin events endpoint. Please expose the same info for user events.
0 votesThis type of information should ideally be getting pulled from the enterprise events API. The User Events API is analogous to the updates feed in the Web App.
More detailed logging about how users are accessing content (e.g. IP address or service) is meant to be pulled from the Enterprise Events API as that’s a centralized location across the enterprise for auditing.

Re-associate accounts when deleted user with same email re-joins enterprise
We need the ability to re-associate accounts when deleted user with the same email address joins (re-joins) our enterprise.
We have many scenarios where contractors become employees or employees are re-hired. We would like these transitions to be seamless from a Box perspective.
0 votesThank you for your suggestion! The best way to temporarily disable user accounts is to change the user status to inactive.

Add Item Owner to content-related events
Currently the API events do not contain the item owner for content-related activities (download, preview, etc.). Finding the owner of an item associated with an event requires subsequent API calls to inspect the object (file/folder).

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.
