Enable a Group Membership Admin role, which allows add/remove members of a Box group, without enabling modifications to the group.
Dear Box Product Owner,
This request proposes a new "Group Membership Admin" role within Box Groups to improve access control management, particularly for folders containing sensitive information, and to streamline compliance with regulatory requirements.Problem:
Currently, Box Groups are a valuable tool for managing entitlements to folders, especially those containing highly sensitive content. Integrating Box Groups with IAM tools like SailPoint enables efficient access provisioning, access reviews, and adherence to FFIEC and other regulatory standards. By managing access through groups, we can ensure that all collaborators on sensitive folders are added via controlled group memberships.However, the existing "Group Admin"…

Admin Instant Login - Admins should be able to see the External Folder Names and collaborators
There was similar idea marked as not planned from 2018, but I am hoping that is long enough ago so this improvement can be reconsidered. This makes it difficult for administrators to monitor activities on outbound collaborations.
If you draw the line at being able to view file names/preview content, even just being able to see the folder name and collaborators would be helpful when trying to run down a reported issue or possible DLP concerns.

Unmanaged User feature should be more prominent (UX tweak)
It would be helpful if the Unmanaged Users management feature was more prominent. when trying to add a new managed user, if a matching unmanaged user already exists, an error is displayed and no other information given. I had to fumble to figure out why, partly because the feature isn't obvious. Suggestion: change the External Users tab name to External & Unmanaged Users, and add an Unmanaged Users button next to External users. Or, simply display them all but with the unmanaged users highlighted somehow. It is non-intuitive partly because external is interpreted as 'non-company domain'. So there wasn't the…

I would like you to add a feature that prohibits the creation of free accounts using company-owned domains.
Based on the following circumstances, it is desirable for system administrators to manage accounts, including license management:
① Creating free accounts using a company-owned domain requires time to integrate them with managed users.
② Since SSO is used, even if a free account is created, it cannot actually be used to access Box.以下の状況からライセンス管理を含めてシステム管理者がアカウントを管理する事が望ましい。
①会社所有ドメインでフリーアカウントを作成されると、管理対象ユーザーへの統合に時間を要する。
②SSOを採用しているので、フリーアカウントを作成しても実際にBoxを利用する事はできない。1 vote -

Show collaboration folder path for External users
When we look at external users, now we can see a folder that they are collaborators in but we cannot see the path to it nor can we navigate to that folder. Can that functionality be added so we can more easily see what folders are shared and what is in them?

transfer administrator role
As the administrator of the BOX account for the Restless Legs Foundation, and due to my departure from the board, I would like to transfer my administrator role to my successor.
I've completed the steps outlined under role transfer, but then receive an error message during verification:
• You do not have permission to confirm this administrator transfer.
• You cannot confirm the administrator transfer. Log out and try again after logging in as an administrator.I don't understand what this means. I'm logged in with my email account and password, in the admin console, and yet this message appears.

Ability to create private subfolders in Parent folders, and limit Parent-level collaborators from accessing the private subfolder.

Unsharing subfolder
We should be able to remove access to a subfolder without it affecting access to the parent folder. I understand cascading permissions from parent folder > subfolder, but it definitely should not be the other way around. Currently, we have a parent folder with tons of different subfolders underneath and when we create a new private subfolder, rather than having to un-share the parent folder with someone and re-share all folders except the private one, we should just be able to un-share the private subfolder without taking away access to the entire parent folder. This is a huge time-eating hurdle…

Bulk Change Collaborator Permissions
We have folders that collaborate hundreds of users. We have occasion to need to modify their permissions. It would be very useful if there was a way to modify the permission level of multiple users. Using the Web UI to modify a single user at a time is very inefficient.
Either via selecting multiple users at a time, or even better, if you were to "re-invite" a user to a folder and select a different collaboration permission.
This way you could use the invite dialog box to re-invite 100 users - and change their permissions all at once.2 votes -
Who invited a user?
Bring back the column under Managed Users that tells you who invited a user. That easy bit of information is no longer there. Now you have to run a report that takes forever and may or may not give you the information.

Provide a way to get a list of DevicePins for a specific Box User using the Box API
Currently if you want to delete all device pins for a user, you must
- pull the complete list of device pins for your enterprise
- seach through the results for a specific user
- for each device pin found, destroy it.
It would really help to be able to call
/enterprises/{enterpriseid}/devicepinners/{userboxid}
and get the device pins for that user.This feature is already available in the GUI.

Disable automatic in-domain creation of Managed User account
Currently, Box allows an unmanaged user to become a paid Managed user "automatically" if someone within the domain invites another email within the same domain. Only Co-Admins and Primary Admins should be able to authorize a paid seat. Or there should be an option in settings to turn that on ability on or off.

Flexible Account Display Name
I want to change the display name of accounts for internal and external collaboration within my company's tenant.
When viewing content within my company, displaying "Name-Department" makes it easier to identify individuals in a large organization.
On the other hand, for external collaboration partners, I don't want to show the department name, but "Name-Company" can be easier to identify.
It would be great if the display name could be customized according to each environment.

Automatically add a Group to all existing folders of an email address
Our department has been sharing one email address to manage Box folders. Now we want to use our individual emails and add our Group to the existing folders to maintain them. Currently we would have to select the folders individually and there are thousands so that is not realistic. It would be nice if there was a select all option for these folders to add our Group to.
