Group permission discrepancies between the API and the groups UI
Currently, the Groups API endpoint allows for more granular permissions for collaborating and viewing content ("invitabilitylevel" is used to determine who can invite the group to collaborate on folders; "memberviewability_level" is used to determine who can view group members). It's possible for the values for each of these to be configured independently.
The new Groups UI conflates these two parameters into one setting: "Permission Setting".

Renaming and moving files/folders: include old and new names and locations in Enterprise Events call
If renaming or moving a file or folder, Usage Log reports include both the new and old names, and new and old locations. The old location and old name are missing from Enterprise Events via the Content API.
4 votesThank you for this request! We do not plan on prioritizing this at the moment. We’ll continue to monitor demand.

Inactive users are not listed when managing groups
When in the Admin Console and viewing groups, if I go to edit the membership list of a group, the list does not appear to display inactive users, but if I search for a user in the group it will display the user. However, if viewing the members of a group through the normal interface, it will display all members, even inactive ones.
This is potentially confusing as it means that the list of members a group admin would see will be different, and if they want to remove someone, they will not be able to just browse the list…
4 votesThank you for the feedback! IMO, we should not display inactive users in the groups as the group should keep a membership of all the active users. Thanks!

Add "last accessed date" as an action type when running report on a folder
Add "last accessed date" as an action type when running report on a folder to track the last time users downloaded/previewed files in a specific folder.
4 votesThank 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…
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.

Disable/enable feature announcement notifications on an enterprise level for all users
This would be added to the enterprise settings for default email notifications. The users are receiving many notification and sending out instructions to all of them to change on a user level seems to be out of the question.
4 votesThis is not a priority at the moment given our roadmap commitments. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Managed user differentiator other than domain
Different attribute outside of domain to determine if truly a managed user. We have different orgs that share email domains but are truly are different orgs with different budgets and approvals. Our org does not want to pay for other users that are not within our organization.
4 votesThis is not a priority at the moment given our roadmap commitments. We will reconsider with additional demand.

The Ability to Search for Users by Secondary Email Address
In the Admin Console, there is currently no way to search for users by their secondary email address.
When the Admin goes to create a new user with an email address that is already in use by an existing account, they have no way of seeing who is using the email address without checking their users' account details individually.
4 votesThis suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We are currently focusing on improving the current experience to manage users in the Admin Console before we add enhancements to search.

Ability to export reports in CSV format
CSV is more useful than Excel when they export logs because some our internal system can import only CSV format (not Excel). It's more convenient to give an option to choose CSV or Excel as export type.
4 votesBecause the admin can save the Excel file as a CSV and we do not want to overpopulate the user interface with too many choices, it is unlikely that we will address this request.

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.

Improve scaling issues with collaboration report
We want to trim the Collaboration report and focus on External Collaborators. We believe that information will be more actionable than everything else. The Collaboration report currently is unusable at scale.

Folder specific usage reports
A number of our teams need the ability to run usage reports based on the folder in contrast to the typical usage report which is based on the user/group.
We want to store highly sensitive documents in Box but need visibility into this kind of activity. This would also function as a very scalable way of measuring content adoption for the Team Leads.

Additional MFA for Admin Console
When logged in as a user, we would like to be prompted for MFA for Admin Console access in case the admin's Box credentials are compromised

Aliases - Better Email Alias Management from Managed Users Page
Currently, email aliases for users are poorly exposed in the Users page of the Admin Console and we also provide poor alias management functions on the users tab too.
Key Gaps:
1. No ability to promote an alias to be primary directly from the Managed Users page (must use instant log in - which not all co-admins have - in order to make this change)
2. No ability to remove an alias from the Managed Users page4 votesThis suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We are currently focusing on improving the performance and user interface to manage users before we add enhancements to manage email aliases.

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.

The User Filter is built to only look at the list of current, managed users, so it would be quite difficult to include deleted users.

Report on who deleted from trash
Currently we have configured our Box instance to disallow end users to delete files, only for Admins and not even auto-delete items after X days. However, we are looking for some record/log of this.
4 votesIt will be super helpful to understand the business impact to report on who deleted from trash. At this moment, admins can configure rules to delete trash after a certain period time. This doc would be helpful: https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Files-and-Folders/Trash/ta-p/19212

display name in a variety of formats
Add a “Display Name” field that can be customized to display name in a variety of formats For example {LastName},{FirstName} ({Department})
3 votesWe are re-designing our User Details page as first steps to modernizing our user interface this year. We may focus more on areas where customers want to add customization in the future, but this is not currently on our near-term roadmap.
