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"…

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.

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…

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.

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.1 vote -
I am struggling with basic functionality of box i.e. sharing a folder with external users.
I followed simple steps to use box application to share some business information with external stakeholder.
1. Created a folder
2. Uploaded my files
3. Clicked on share button at the top right corner and added the email addresses of folks I want to share with
4. Gave them viewer accessResult:
1. I can see in sharing panel these new users have pending requests
2. The users get email notification to access the folder but when they click they get an error 403.It has happened multiple times, for some users the process is smooth, others it always throws…

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.

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.

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.

About collaborator permission settings
When sharing data with external users on the cloud, if you try to give them editing privileges such as "download," "delete," or "rename," they will be given "editor" privileges.
However, as an "editor" you will be able to "invite" and "set access privileges."
This is excessive privilege to give to external users.
On the other hand, in the "Viewer/Uploader", it is not possible to "rename" or "delete", and data uploaded by mistake cannot be deleted, and the folder cannot be edited at all, and the administrator account I need to delegate the work.Requests a permission setting between "Editor" and…

Proxy user ID for C-Level profiles
For executive level users, or high public visibility folks, provide a method to suppress, or proxy their actual username. These are often tied to Single Sign On accounts, hidden at the global level, but visible in local apps, like Box. We have a workaround in creating a surrogate account, but it would be nice to simply add a proxy directly in Box to allow these individuals to log in through the normal Company Single Sign On process.

Help Microsoft to Fix Entra SSO Auto-Provisioning
We have confirmed with Microsoft a bug in Entra ID (Azure AD) SSO Auto-Provisioning, where an update of any user attribute also updates the user's Allocated Storage (a.k.a. space_amount) to Unlimited (a.k.a. a very high number). Since Microsoft offers the integration as an Enterprise Application, they need to fix this.
In the meantime, Box should document the situation, do whatever they can to offer a workaround, and assist Microsoft to expedite the fix.
